Depression help

I just discussed meds today with my therapist. He didn’t recommend them for me, but another doctor did. It’s a really big deal. Have you tried different kinds? Some work for some, but not others. I have read about a therapy that invokes electrical stimulation to the brain. There’s also cognitive behavioral therapy If you consult with a mental health professional, they should be able to provide you with options available to you. I hope you can find something to help you

Yes; tried all of them; some twice. Thank you for the ideas; can't hurt to try.

So sorry. That must be very painful. Sending positive vibes and well wishes your way.

In my opinion (and I am not a professional), depression as you describe needs attention from a mental health professional. If you have tried therapy and it did not work for you, then you have not found the right professional. Please keep looking. I don't know anyone who has not been depressed at some period in their lives, myself included.
How do you spend your free time? It is difficult to be motivated while depressed, but physical activity is vital, and so is interaction with people.

Have you looked into CBD?

I have not; thought about it, but my doctor said they needed more research about actually helping. I might ask again, since that was 2 years ago. Thanks!

I asked my doctor about CBD oil for my parents, who both suffer with anxiety and depression. He said there isn’t enough evidence to prove that its effective. But, he didn’t say don’t use it. They decided not to try it. I might though.

That's how my doctor felt also. I'm not ready to try it yet. Thanks.

So sorry - it is frustrating I know. Antidepressants don't help me at all. Have u tried new treatments - Spravato (it's a nasal spray administered in psych office. It reaches different neurotransmitters in brain also a new drug Auvelity that is not like other antidepressants. I hope u can find some peace it is tiring looking solutions.

Agree I think needs more research and CBD is not regulated do you don't try know ingredients or levels of what u r taking.
