It’s good that you’re responding well and feeling well. At times it’s important to look at the glass as half full. Depression should be treated for atleast a 12months for first episode, Anxiety- 6months and ocd-12months( only in cases of full recovery)
Every patient is different and will have different response time to treatment. Of course at times it’s also about the fit of right medication or combination of medicines.

Takes about 90 days for you to say that you are fully better. Before that you will have some good days and some bad ones it's all a part of the package hold on to the good ones and be strong... Wait for 90 days
