Dear Lybrate user, it must be hard going through anxiety, depression and insomnia. With regard to medication, it's best to consult with a psychiatrist. But i'll also suggest that you go for psychological counseling/therapy. A combination of medication and therapy will work best. Therapy will help you manage your anxiety, depression and insomnia with certain strategies, skills and techniques. Especially cognitive behaviour therapy is proven and widely used to treat anxiety and depression. Therapy will help you in the long term and help in managing your concerns. Once you've learned to manage, you can also reduce your dependence on medication. Please consult a psychologist. Regards, aaradhana reddy counselling psychologist.
