What causes severe depression and anxiety?
human
My husband has been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. He is in a pattern of one good day, one bad day.  he is taking medications for both but does not seem to help.  On his bad days he has some confusion, difficulty completing tasks - especially writing checks, accounting, solving business math problems which he has done for years with no difficulty. This has been going on for 7 months with little improvement.  Can you suggest where to go from here?

Hello thanks for askingI can understand your concern. He is suffering from depression and anxiety. He is showing rapid mood shifts and one day he remain normal while on the other day he remain depressed and can't finish the tasks. This could be happening due to poor control of symptoms. If he is on antidepressants then apart from this mood stabilisers should be added to his prescription. Mood stabilisers like VALPROIC ACID, Carbamazepine or Lithium can be added to his prescription.These drugs will help to stabilise his mood and the mood swings will decrease. So please talk to his psychiatrist for re-evalution.Thanks and Take care
