Meditation helps depression only by reducing the time of thinking about your actual troubling problems as you concentrate more on things unrelated to those problems at least for some time. There is no other proven benefits. So if you do meditation in all the time you are awake, then only it really helps you for the whole day. Seriously. Meditation helps a little bit better in anxiety, it helps to monitor and practice and experience slow breathing, and heart rate (due to rest state). And as in fi...more

It's not like that you can't take both medication simultaneously. But there should be some reason to combine medications. If you have optimum dose of one drug than only you can go for combination therapy for same problem.

Weight gain can happen using psychiatric medicines. You should be eating carefully avoiding processed foods like bread, biscuits, ice creams, less sugar, oil & salt. Avoid too much milk and milk products. Combine fruits, vegetables, salads etc with your regular food.

Yes you can buy 50 and take half, but make sure you attend your periodic review with psychiatrist, as serta is not an over the counter medication, but a schedule 'h" drug, which needs constant monitoring. All the best.

Sertraline is an ssri, it should be safe if your liver and kidney are healthy. Sertraline usual dose is around 50 mg. Usually antidepressants are taken long term as opposed to benzodiazepines that are short term. You should be fine, given you exercise daily, stay relaxed. There is no such thing as safest antidepressant, all antidepressants have their own side effects profile.
But you may try mirtazapine as it has least side effects.

Dear Sajish Kumar all people used to have negative thoughts including psychologists and psychiatrists. It is not an illness to eat tablets.!

But need to check if you have any psychological disorder to be treated, either through psychological therapies or with medicines.

But psychological interventions are possible to deal with your negative thoughts with therapies like CBT.
Good that you recognise your negative thoughts which can be corrected.
Bye take care
