Hello doctor, I am a student. l am from a very poor family, preparing for the entrance exam and need selection to help my parents. I live alone, away from my home for study. From the past four months, I am struggling with a continuous fear, that my house is weak and it may break and my parents may get attacked by it. I am unconsciously feeling this fear all the time crying, and weeping. I have pain in body, neck, acidity, and memory loss and am under medication for depression for the past two years.
Hi. Your history is clear that you have relapse depressive symptoms along with anxiety symptoms. You have obvious reasons for your symptoms like you live away from your home, poverty, basic needs of life like home and your sensitive personality like you are most of the time uncertain that worse could happen. I would suggest you should start antidepressants as soon as possible. 1.Tablet Escitalopram 10 mg at night daily. 2.Capsule Dexlansoprazole 30 mg two times a day for your acidity. If symptoms do not get better or get worse, kindly visit mental health service nearby.
