You must combine medication with therapy. This is extremely important for your anxiety and depression. Anyway life is full of problems as a norm. Any attempts to escape will never help: you must learn to face these problems every day with good success. The counselor will help you in this regard. I also strongly believe that every crisis offers an opportunity for change, if you seek it and grab the opportunity. Please meet with a counselor and work on your emotions, particularly anger and fear. Exercise is very important but you have to build on it developmentally. I suggest you do the opposite of what this depression makes you feel like doing (actually, not doing): you will need to fight this condition. You must become active; stay upright during the daylight time; meet people; never sleep during the day, wake up by 6 am every day, play some active games, especially contact games, do physical exercises, talk to people and join some social clubs, attend yoga classes etc. Watch sitcoms on tv or comedies and cheer yourself up. Go for excursions in groups, for outings, camps, conferences, and religious conventions. Get a pet dog and spend time training it, exercising it and relating to it. Expose yourself to some sunlight every day, at least 30 minutes but not in the scorching heat. Whatever happens, please incorporate these three important adaptations in your life: always be responsible, be respectful, and be functional. If you did these three, lots of things will go well in life. Please pray and have faith in god to alleviate your sufferings. Don?t wait for others to help. Use your own motivation, which might be at its lowest, but persevere and win this battle. Above all to be really happy, you need to live in love and for love. Learn all about emotions and how to handle them and that will get you out of the depression and anxiety rather easily and quickly. A counselor is there only to facilitate you, all the hard word must come from you, and your cooperation with that person is very critical for your success. Be positive everyday and learn to be contended with what you have. Whatever happens please cooperate with the therapy and do not discontinue until the condition is completely resolved. The fear of people may be related to a rejection issue for which you must learn social skills and good conversation skills to get along with people. Somewhere you might have been insulted in public or your family may not have been much into socializing. These can affect your ability to socialize. This can be worked out if you are open to believe in yourself and above all to love yoruself.

Dear lybrate-user, social anxiety and panic attack may be symptoms of serious mental disorder rather than diagnosis. Please discuss with your psychiatrist about the diagnosis. Apart from changing tricalm plus to newer medicines, you may have to undergo therapy for socialisation.
