Hi If Medicine are not helping youthen you need to be evaluated for any medical conditions such as Thyroid dysfunction etc. And if everything is fine then going for electro convulsive therapy (ECT) is good option. Discuss regarding this with your Psychiatrist. Thanks and regards.

Hi sir Thanks for seeking help here. I have gone through you history clearly and found that really you have a difficult time. I would like to suggest you that, many times bipolar depression got miss diagnosed as unipolar depression. That leads to treatment failure. Also some cases personality factor and stressors also lead to treatment failure. Usually treatment resistance depression does not evolve in 6 months . If you like for a detail evaluation of your case, we will be happy to that. But we need all details history, including treatment history for rationalization of treatment. Let's hope for the best. Happy to help you. Regards Dr Jitendriya From Practo.
