I am depressed and anxious, what should I do?

Q: My problem is concerned mainly with anxiety and depression. Actually I am suffering from anxiety disorder for more than three years. I have visited two or three psychiatrist but in vain. They have given me some medicines which I had taken as they were prescribed. Firstly when I took the medicines I felt very good for about three or four months but after that the symptoms of disease came back. I continued the medicines but there was no affect after that. Actually my problem is that I feel very anxious all the time. Due to this anxiety, I cant live up to my life i.e. I cant live it normally as other people do. Some of the problems which I face is communication problem, I cant communicate well with other people due to this problem, cant concentrate, there is crowding of thoughts in my mind all the times and negative attitude is also there. I request you to please suggest some solution to this problem.
