Depression itself becomes alright
I'm taking meds for depression for 5 years and only 80% alright. I have been to 3 psychiatrists and psychologists. I thought of consulting new psychiatrists. I consulted two psychiatrists. They told me that depression becomes alright on it's own in 1 year, u are having dysthymia. Does that mean that a person who doesn't become alright becomes dysthymic?? It's chronic mild depression, he said.What is treatment resistant depression then?. I myself know many patients who have not recovered after years of treatment. Are they dysthymic now?What logic is this? I have been consulting many psychiatrists online, everyone just tell me something new. It's a request plz tell me what percentage of patients with suicidal depression become alright acc. to practice and research. Plz. I will live my life on it's own but atleast tell me it's possible or not to completely recover??
Depression cannot be treated alone. There are other life situations and challenges that have to be also sorted and resolved. Other ancillary measures to build positive mental health is required for sure.
One alternative to medical therapy is Homoeopathy if you wish to take that. I have seen good results. Prefer personal meeting where ever possible. Choose online consultation only of distance is a big problem.
If not Homoeopathy, then work closely with a counsellor to sort out life issues and build positive life skills.
