Treatment resistant depression

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, Aug 24 11:07pm

Ive been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ptsd for over 20 years. I grew up with a lot of trauma and neglect. Ive never done ECT or the ketamine sprays, Im so afraid of them. Ive done a wide array of medications and therapy.
Im so lost right now, I can't seem to thrive, I am disabled because of it.
My mom is having cognitive decline so it's a lot of stress. We have a rocky relationship but she's still my mom.
We are not fighting as much which I like but I am so sad for her and feel helpless. I worry because my dad and brother dont.
So I feel stuck myself.

Not sure what to do when throwing meds at it isn't helping and therapy has me going nowhere right now.

There are very limited resources, no support groups, just AA. Im not sure how to find community, relearn to socialize and find a life for me again.

Should I try something else? Im at a loss

Did you happen to see my post on the research Johns Hopkins is doing on the use of psychedelics to treat various issues such as depression, ptsd, etc?
