Dear mam
Thank you for your query.
How long you have to take the medicine depends on a lot of factors such as how long have you been suffering from depression, how severe was your depression, , is this the first time or it had occured before, how is your response to the medications, are there any ongoing psychological stressor, is there a family history, what is the existing support that you have. Treatment of depression and anxiety can range from few months to years depending on these factors. The medications have to be tapered of gradually under supervision of a psychiatrist.
Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed discussion.
Thanks
Dr Ankita Mishra
