There is plenty more you can do.

70% of depressed people cannot manufacture the enzymes in the stomach that metabolize folic acid (vitamin B9) into folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier to manufacture serotonin (the "good feeling neurotransmitter"). Only a genetic test can determine that, but if your psychiatrist is like mine, he/she will put you on a food med called "Deplin" (which is a concentrated form of Vitamin B9 which can cross the blood-brain barrier and provide greater serotonin to the brain). There's no need to undergo the genetic test, since, if the medication works for you, you'll know that you need it. (It's considered a food med, so there are virtually no side effects, and it's covered my most insurance programs.)

I take a 20 mg tablet once daily and get along just fine with that. It's about
$15.00 per month in the area I live in.

You may be what is called "medication resistant". I know of one person who is also med resistant and she uses Deplin very effectively.

After that, I'd suggest that you see your personal physician and ask for some blood work to be done to check all your vitamin levels. Psychotropic medications can drain the vitamin stores of the system, and you need to replace those as well as get your fluids and tissues in a more alkaline state. There are ways to do that, but for starters, I'd suggest that you ask about Deplin and get the blood work done.

Your psychiatrist should not be giving up; you need a doctor who is equipped
with nutrition expertise as well as medication expertise.

Never give up; there are solutions out there for you. We'll help all that we
are able to after you get the work done to determine what the situation really is for you.

Take care and sleep well. Sleep is so important for us all.
