Hi 8Green48,
Yep, when I had depression, mornings were often really bad.
Antidepressants often don't work for people with depression for very understandable reasons. It might be more honest to day "our treatments for depression are lousy" rather than saying "you have treatment resistant depression."
There are lots of promising safe things you can try on your own, many of which are very healthy for you anyway:

You've got nothing to lose by trying.
