For a few of those years it was under control, but then I had weight loss surgery and that threw it off again. I have actually had depression for about 17 years total, but until 5 or 6 years ago it wasn't treated consistently. I don't have a psychologist or anything like that my primary has just been giving me meds for it, but he's not exactly the best listener so when I tell him that I think any of my meds needs changed he's never too happy about it. I'm just wondering if there are any other things to try besides prescriptions for depression for the most part.
