How can I overcome anxiety and lack of motivation due to childhood trauma?

Hello doctor,

I have started using Ritalin recently, as suggested by my doctor, for lack of motivation. But I feel less motivated after taking it. Also, my childhood trauma has been manifesting, causing anger. I started using Sertraline 3 years ago, but I stopped taking it because the doctor said it would have adverse effects if used along with Ritalin. Before taking antidepressants, I was paranoid (about my relationships with people and their perceptions of me) and had frequent crying attacks. I also lacked real emotions. While taking Sertraline, I became emotional, empathetic, and calm and got better grades. Since elementary school, I was aggressive and could not think about anything other than things that annoyed, irritated, or made me sad and anxious. On 50 mg of Sertraline, all of these went away. I do not remember being angry ever while taking Sertraline. I started Ritalin because I had some laughter attacks in class, lacked motivation, and was unconcerned with my future. I was continuously happy and kind of hyperactive.

Kindly help.

Thank you.
