Very well said.

It is unfortunate that there is a sizable proportion of severely depressed people who have yet to find an effective treatment. Most of the people posting on this forum are members of this treatment-resistant group. Treatment failures here outnumber treatment successes by such a large margin, that it would seem that psychotropic drugs don't work at all.

I envy you. I wish for you continued health.
