I have been depressed so long I don’t know what it’s like to not be. even though my life is good, my brain is permanently messed up. I just feel like a wrong thing at this point. And like I’m wasting everyone’s time.

[gmansard]

If these options were so readily available I would have found them a long time ago. I have done everything conceivable to no effect. That's what treatment RESISTANT means.... no options have any effect on it.

[normadesmond]

let's not kid ourselves. When you have had 1 major depression in your life, you have a 50 % chance that you will have another one. When you'v had 2, your chances are 90%. I had my first one when I was 30 years old. I am now 58, and I've had 7. The last one lasted for 10 years. I've tried everything. All the medcations you can imagine, even ECT. Nothing worked. You can have the type of depression that is resistent to any sort of treatment and then you just have to live with it. It has ruined my life. I have medication that helps a bit. Just enough to get me through the day. But I know that it will never be allright again. When I look at old photographs of myself I think - what the hell happened? For me it will have to be a bearable life in the next one. Because it's not going to happen in this one.

[coupdefoudre]

I tried every drug available, no change. Even had Ketamine Infusions, very expensive and did nothing for me. Not having ECT but my psychiatrist is pushing it in me, not gonna happen.
For all going through this immense pain, I know exactly your personal hell. Hang in there. Hang on to hope.

When my psychiatrist told me I had treatment resistant depression my heart broke morr

So... at the end it says there are many options to explore to help treatment-resistant depression, but doesn’t list any of them. 🤨

[angelicbaby]

I also have treatment resistant depression and I've tried one thing and it works: microdosing magic mushrooms at 0.1 g or 0.15g every other day and a two week break once every two months or so. It forces you to deal with your intense emotions (like I cry for thirty mins sometimes) and then you feel good and peaceful.

That’s all good and well if you have the financial resources to spend on Dr’s and medications. And to pay for psychologist . But when you are struggling to pay your existing bills . And you already don’t drink smoke or have a social life ….where am I going to get the money to pay for this help ? 🤯 . Iv been dealing with this T.R.depression for decades ….in the past when it gets to critical mass I’ve, gotten help ….but that has depleted what little funds I had . Now my mortgage gets bigger by the day . And the family pressures are crushing Us . So what’s Your suggestion now ? 🤨 . These airyfairy advertising things are so bloody frustrating . You can find help if you have the money …. Less and less of us have the money day bye day . NOW WHAT ?? In Australia the medical system is linked to the insurance data base …. When I let my life insurance lapse because I couldn’t afford to renew it …. Then tried to get another life insurance policy a few months ago .my premium, s were going to be more expensive because of my mental health records. So now I still can’t afford life insurance. GREAT 🤨🤯 now if something happens to me my family has nothing 🤯 . HOW CAN I FIX THAT ? 💰💰💰💰💰🤨.

I've been depressed since I was 10. Now I'm 60. I doubt I could ever get help after this long. Antidepressants makes me severely suicidal which I wasn't until I took those pills. I quit them 3 years ago and no suicidal thoughts. How do you get help if 8 years of antidepressants didn't work and I tried a few.

[clausmehl]

Ssri did this damage. Its part of pssd. Thanks evil witch doctors.

[dustinclark]

I have a problem with long-term depression and already take a high level of lithium. Is there anything that I could suggest? It's not good that I m resistant to common antidepressants.

[Nisha-klrl]

Depression can feel isolating, but remember that you're not alone. Seek support and consider treatments like [planet ayurveda].

[lifesymphony]

Only stupid people will continue treatment with a doctor who made his patient sicker. If we are diagnosed with any kind of health issues, any person with a brain would seek a 2nd opinion and get treatment from the person whom they feel very confident. Would you entrust your life with a doctor who always good at threatening you and use your fear for his benefit?? Or someone who makes you believe everything is fine, well taken care and your well being is in good hands eventhough there is only slightest chance of survival??? Some people played the wrong psychology with me.
