After my mom passed I lapsed into another depressive episode. For months they insisted that I go on a mood stabilizer to help me. I finally broke down and tried one. It worked for about two months and then I started going back into a depressive state. I hit rock bottom again in August. During the time leading up this, my depression was becoming more and more intense. My therapist listened to me but really did not offer any helpful advice. My pdoc made no suggestions either. They just kind of left me flopping around like a fish out of water. Now, my depression is not as intense but I still have residual symptoms and every time something major happens I relapse. So the only solution they had was a mood stabilizer, and therapy. Therapy will be ending soon as it really has not been helping lately. So it seems like they had a plan they thought should have worked but when it did not work they had no back up plan. Even though they are still there, They basically left me battling this alone. At least this is how i feel. Has anyone else had this experience?
