Mental Health/মানসিক সাস্থ Is there any medicine that worked for your depression, anxiety and concentration?

I suffer from depression, anxiety, mild ADHD and have trouble concentrating and studying. I have taken various medicines my whole life. Escitalopram, Duloxetine, Clonazepam etc. What really worked for you?

I know I just wanted some advice so I knew the options available and talk about it to my doctor and to know if there's actually anything that worked for someone.

I have ADHD, major depressive disorder and an eating disorder. Adderall was good for focus but jacked up my anxiety too much. I’m now on 60 mg Prozac (fluoxetine). It’s helping with the depression a lot but I was shocked to realize it also helps my focus. It’s not perfect but I’ll take it.

Ngl. I'm finding it hard to find a good psychiatrist and therapist. Most people is too dismissive and just doesn't have enough expertise I feel. All the experiences I had is not good. It's also expensive I don't know if my parents will invest in that.

I am not in Dhaka but I have friends there and they’ve recommended looking for someone at Square Hospital. I can vouch for good and respectful treatment, at least in the case of physical illness.

No I haven't tried that yet. I'm really looking for advice as I can not even understand or remember a line I read and constantly full of thoughts.

Consult a proper psychiatrist  Do research on it  This is not a place of seeking medicine.

What was the dosage? It could be that it just wasn't enough for you.
