Mental Health

I'm researching about mental illnesses and their treatments coz my family has history of mental illness. The illness are very real but the treatment doesn't have very good effect. Me,my cousin sister and 3 other members have depression from many years but we are not getting alright. We have taken treatments from many places but we don't feel happy doesn't matter what. When I started researching I found that most studies show that antidepressants are just 15% better than placebo and in maximum studies just 40-50% people get better. It is also written that it becomes alright in a year on it's own. If there is an illness then there should be 2 or 3 meds but there are more than 20 antidepressants, no one know why. When they don't work they send u for therapy then rtms, ect. We did everything. Can anyone plz tell me that are these really effective treatments. We are suffering immensly.

Hello, I am facing some serious irregularities in my life.. I like more to stay awake at night than day.. I feel very less interested in doing any work, I feel like being in myself always and not talking much to everyone, I'm drinking too much achol, it's been 1.5 years since my life style has slowly started changing like this

I took Nexito20 for 1 year, didn't feel change then flutee40 with amisulpridie50, methylphenidate 20 and then lithium for 1 year and stopped coz of side effects of acidity and not much help then again doc gave me Nexito20 with clonazapem and after 3 months I felt 80% better. I just want to know that which medicine helped me coz of which I started feeling some difference next time on Nexito20 which I didn't feel earlier??. I have taken other meds also but for small time. My main qn is that should I again take those meds? I'm confused that did any of those meds helped me or Nexito20 alone helped me this time as I didn't take any combination??
