Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.
I understand that you are suffering from depression for a long time. Depressive disorders are characterized by persistent low mood, loss of interest and enjoyment, and reduced energy. They often impair day-to-day functioning.
The current symptoms of headaches and visual symptoms (photophobia, snowing of visuals now) is suggestive of Migraine Type of headache. Instead of Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Aspirin, Cannabis or Physiotherapy you should be taking a trial of anti- migraine medications like Sumatriptan (Imitrex single dose of 50 mg in consult with your Doctor. If a satisfactory response has not been obtained at 2 hours, a second dose may be administered.) or Ergotamine.
It is clear that you have moderate depressive symptoms and the depression is clearly contributing and overlapping these headaches. You should be taking anti depressive medications. Modern anti-depressants are very safe and efficient. You will be surprised to know how a simple medication can bring so much of a change in your mood. I recommend tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline, nortriptyline, doxepin as they are also effective in long term prevention of Migrane type headaches (dual benefit here). I recommend a Psychiatrist consultation as soon as possible.
Hope this helps
