Of course: Sounds more like anxiety than depression but the two often coexist. He's already taking Valium and Lexapro, (escitalopram) so it looks like he's getting some treatment. Also methotrexate (for RA?). Response to antidepressants and anxiolytics is very individual. Maybe he needs more meds. Or maybe he's suffering from a colcannon deficiency. More is always better.

Depression/anxiety: It's possible. Depression and anxiety share some of the same neurotransmitters and can occur together. Major depression is > or equal to 2 weeks of several symptoms involving changes in sleep, eating, activity level, energy, motivation, interest in activities. Irritability, sadness, crying spells, thoughts of wanting to die or worse, excessive feelings of guilt, hopelessness characterize it. Dr?
