I agree, SSRI's are relied upon too heavily. I know that they bring relief to a lot of people with moderate or mild depression, but SSRI"s just don't work with Treatment-Resistant Depression. I'm basing this conclusion on my own experiences and the experiences of other severely depressed persons.
On a positive note, I am truly grateful for this forum because I've never had anyone to relate to with my Treatment-Resistant Depression. Having depression alone is sad and lonely, but having TRD is that much more isolating. It's comforting to have someone to relate to. Also, it's tremendously helpful to hear stories about alternative medicines that seem to break the TRD barrier.
I hope I'm not speaking too brash--I've only been on the forum for 1 week. After 4 years of a depressive and painful college experience, I'm hoping to get some ideas on new avenues of action.
Thanks again to everyone.
