Hi again Craz,

How are you feeling today?

I was thinking about your post some more and wondering if you couldn't bring this up with your docs. If you think that things are getting worse maybe tell them what you think and ask for options. It's step 1 in the advice on the link I provided, but I really think that it is important to specifically ask you docs to check for any purely medical or nutritional issue that could be contributing to how you're feeling. This happens a lot and MDs tend to only check for a couple of issues if that, unless they are pressed about it. In summary, I think you should start complaining rather loudly to your docs. Unless you do, they may just keep doing what they usually do for patients like you.

As for hope, I think that there is plenty of reason to be optimistic as long as you are willing to keep actively looking and actively trying new things. Especially in the case of depression, I think it's important to actively look for new things yourself and not just trust the experts. In my case, for instance, I was sinking for many years and nothing was seemingly helping much. When I found the right thing to do, however, I have now basically completely recovered.

It can get vastly better. Your brain and body have remarkable abilities to heal and recover if you can find a way to give them a chance.
