My mood continuousely remains sombre and sad inspite of no specific reasons for the same. I have faced difficulties and struggle in the past but now most of the things are sorted out. My real paternal uncle was diagnosed with chronic depression. I have been taking Siberian Ginseng which provides some relief. Kindly advise some allopathic medication without side effects.I am 52 years old male.
