Hello, have you been diagnosed with anxiety/ocd/depression or it is self-diagnosis? Self-diagnosis with limited or too much info from the net can be misleading. Unless a professional psychiatrist/clinical psychologist assesses you and provides this diagnosis you should not assume. This includes medication that you are currently taking, has it been prescribed from a psychiatrist? If not kindly get your self assessed by a good professional (not a physician). Only then label yourself and take medicines. Depression is mostly related to your own bad past experiences, low coping abilities, lack of care and support and or even distorted thought processes. Anxiety is rooted in some kind of fear. It could be losing something, it could be fear of heights, water, animals, anything. Ocd is one type of anxiety where to suppress one's anxiety an individual repeats an action e.g. Hand washing, hoarding, shopping etc. For all the three there could be different types of treatment apart from medicines, since medicine shall only control your physical symptoms, put you to sleep, calm you bring your bp down but it will not be able to remove the root cause of your problem. Psychological counseling and different psychological therapies like psychoanalysis, cognitive behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy etc. Are required for your recovery. Hence consult a counseling psychologist who shall be able to help you guide you and counsel you to understand your sadness, fears and come to terms with it. He/she shall train you to healthy thoughts, behaviours and bring clarity to your thoughts. You could consult psychologists here at Lybrate too. Pls do not sit with your condition but proactively seek treatment/guidance. It might take some time depending on your condition but you will definitely be in a far better place say after 6 months. Wish you all the best. Keep the faith.
