Yes the medicines will help you and you are getting better as you yourself said. These medications should continue for at least 1 to 2 years after complete recovery. Don't stop them without consulting your Psychiatrist. A home you can practice breathing exercises and learn relaxation techniques from the internet and do them at home. Am sure all this along with the medication you'll be fine very soon.

Dear lybrate-user,
don't diagnose the disease from the tablets. The same tablet can be given for many disorders at different dose. It will work for depression in 2-3 weeks, if the dose is adequate. If you want to help her, please discuss with her psychiatrist. She needs simultaneous treatment for her hypothyroidism and diabetes also.
