I assume that he has been seen by a Psychiatrist considering the medication he is on. If he did not have anger issues before starting medication then please meet the consultant immediately. However if he had anger issues even before starting these medicines, give some time for the medicines to start their action (usually a week or two).

It seems with the above set of medications your depression is not under control, kindly discuss other options and medications with your psychiatrist. Some newer ones have come. If not possible get a second opinion and follow for 3 months and see of it is any better. Good luck.

When you switch you may not feel immediate response but sooner or later you ll feel betterment. Absolutely no side effect. Whenever you want to discuss, i ll take few details before chosing specific herbs.

It may be helpful for him to address his thoughts and feelings in a safe space and learn to challenge dysfunctional thoughts that trigger his symptoms and work on healthier behaviour...more
