So I was diagnosed with mixed anxiety, type 2 depression and ocd and tics and have been on multiple meds since last 1 year. (amitriptyline 50, fluoxetine 80, sertraline 100, etizolam 1.5, propranolol 40, risperidone 2 and clomipramine 50) but apart from tics and anxiety my symptoms of depression like low mood, no motivation, no pleasure in anything, trouble doing everyday tasks, forgetfulness, inattentiveness, difficulty focusing etc none of these has improved. So what should I do now?

Doses need to be titrated as all of the anti OCD medications are also antidepressants. Apart from that you need exercise regularly so that your body also naturally tries to cope with depression by releasing endorphins during exercise. Endorphins are natural antidepressants and make mood better. Avoid caffeinated drinks as they will worsen anxiety and depression. Do some breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.
