Depression
I have been on medication for last 10 months. I am having antidepressant. But my mood swings are not getting better and I don't have the enthusiasm in my work. Each and every day I feel like another subsequent day I have spent. The main thing is I am not happy. Not with anyone, not with myself.

Hi. I am sorry to hear about what you are going through. Since you are already on anti-depressant for last 10 months and not getting relief, I would suggest that you discuss with your psychiatrist regarding a change in medications. Quite often, the first anti-depressant we try doesn't work and after an adequate trial, a change of medications is warranted.
In addition, consider option of starting psychotherapy which will include sessions helping you come out of depression.
Next Steps
Talk to your psychiatrist regarding a change in treatment strategy.
