I am a 62 1/2 year old Black Female. I tend to be very, very emotional and depressed lately. In the past three years 3 of my loved ones have passed away
Hello, Thanks for putting your query on Chat Doctor. I can understand what you are going through, and I am sorry for losses that you have faced.It's common to feel depressed after loss of loved ones but since it is affecting your functioning treatment is required. If I had similar patient visiting my clinic I would have started her with low dose antidepressant like Escitalopram 10 mg for 6 months and then would have tapered it down slowly before stopping it. Hope I have solved your query. If you have further queried please feel free to ask.
