I having this problem of moodiness and wandering mind since I was a child. I am not able to perform my job properly. I complete all my work in the last minute. Before twenty years, I had depressive symptoms like low mood, loss of interest, weakness, guilt, and disturbed sleep for three months and had taken medication for the same.

Prescribing you very low dose antidepressant will hike you according to the response. Take tablet Nexito (Escitalopram) 10 mg in the morning, it will start showing an effect after 7 days.
