It really shocks me how this day and age that there is not a better handle, treatment for depression, anxioty etc. Dr's try all sorts of different antidepressants to find the best one but it is extremely difficult on the person. You would think at this point and so many suffering they would have a idea of the highest rating medication or combinations. As more and more are being diagnosed there should be more studies, advancements. I've had luck for years until menopause I believe and the anxioty, depression has changed too more, making myself change to the person I use to be. I just can't get back to that person. Have changed medication few times. Long drawn out process.
I have be content with the person I am today which is too bad as I'm 66 and it's the last part of life. I must accept and very grateful for what I have

@dberthelet I've never heard any doctor say that medication alone is going to take care of depression or anxiety. It is supposed to be used to help with symptoms so we can work on the issues in therapy. Medicine is not going to cure any of it.
