Yeah no problem you are definitely not alone. I got very lucky and found the right pdoc on the first shot but I know many others who had to try out many doctors before they found the one that fit them. It's a difficult process but important. It took me a number of years to get the proper medication mix so even though you have taken medication before it's most likely that you were not on the proper ones. Unfortunately it's like an experiment to see what meds work and what meds don't. It is not easy because many have side effects but I encourage you to not give up. I'm sorry about your mother's ignorance but the older generation can be somewhat intolerant of mental health issues.
