I have experienced everything you state. I am depressed YES, but it’s about the lack of help for my illness. And that is it! I still want to do everything I did in the past, but I cannot. I am dizzy, my ears are ringing and my vision is distorted. That makes it impossible to live my normal life.
They push anti-depressants because it’s all they have. I’ve tried many of them because I’m desperate. SSRI and SNRI often have a negative result for tinnitus and hyperacusis, which I have in spades. When I report my ears/hearing have become worse and I have discontinued the drugs, doctors tell me I did not give it time to work.
They usually lose interest in my case at that point. They have no other answers.
