There is no one single way to relieve agitated depression, as each person’s situation will be different. A doctor will likely recommend a variety of approaches, including medication and counseling.
Sometimes, it can take time to find the right combination of medications, therapy, and stress relieving techniques that will help.
A person should persevere with their treatment plan as much as possible, and they should speak to a doctor if they feel that, after giving it a good try, is it not working.
