You have hypothyroidism too for which you are taking medication or not because it is known to cause depression and anxiety. There are other medications available for the anxiety and depression. If one medication failed then we can definitely try other one.

If after taking regular medications for anxiety and depression and symptoms are worsening, either the medicines are not working or the diagnosis needs to be revised or it s a resistant illness, discuss with your psychiatrist, if no benefits, get a 2nd opinion. All the best.
