I'm almost 19 and i've been dealing with depression since i was 13. That's when i first started self harm and i remember being suicidal at that age as well, i had tried to hang myself when i was 14. i had another attempt last december. I've been on a handful of meds that are supposed to help with my depression (antipsychotics and antidepressants-turns out i have schizophrenia too but thats gotten better) the only thing that hasnt improved is my depression. I'm starting to feel very hopeless. ive dealt with suicidal thoughts every single day for over a year straight. every day. ive had plans multiple times and i've been hospitalized multiple times for it. I am feeling like giving up if my depression doesnt let up. it just makes me lay in bed all day feeling miserable. I have been on the max dose of cymbalta for a month and have had no improvement but i was just put on lithium to help with the suicidal thoughts. I feel like my depression is treatment resistant and i dont know where to go from here....

I know how difficult it is to have treatment resistant depression. Hopefully the lithium will be what you needed to help you out.

What are your past medications and treatments? Are you diagnosed as treatment resistant? Treatment resistant does not mean it is the end of the road.

 I relate to trying many things with little success, the latest option seems to be more helpful, so try to stay with it.

What do you mean your schizophrenia has gotten better?

I'm med resistant, so I know it can feel hopeless. I'm more prone to mania, though right now I'm in a crippling depression. It took a lot of different med attempts to form my perfect cocktail, so try and keep pushing forward. (The reason I think I'm depressed is because we cut my lamictal dosage in half, so nothing to do with my cocktail being off.)
