What are the best drugs to treat depression?

Depends from person to person. Seeking help is the first step of the treatment

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been struggling for over ten years with what I suspect is depression. I'm 29 now, and for a long time, death was something I constantly thought about, though I never went through with any plans because I couldn't bear the thought of hurting my dad. That frustration was tough. Lately, I've stopped thinking about ending it all, but I still feel like the desire to live is gone. Nothing makes me happy, and even when I'm around others, I feel incredibly alone and often find myself on the verge of tears. It's like I'm sad all the time, and small things really hurt me. I'm having a hard time accepting quarrels and fights within my family. Is this something that can be helped? Should I be seeking specific advice or treatment?

I'm struggling to sleep for the past couple of days and have this sinking sensation in my stomach. My hands and legs feel weak, and there's this odd sensation. I'm trying to focus on my work and not overthink, but I just can't seem to calm down. What should I do?
