Re: When Did You Say 'I'm Treatment Resistant'?

I don't believe in treatment resistance. To me it means, in its simplest crudest fashion, wrong diagnosis, wrong treatment.

Take me for example. There isn't a psych med on the planet that is going to convince borrelia, bartonella, or babesia (the bad guys of Lyme) to pack up their bags and leave. They are going to keep partying and pissing and pooping all over my serotonin and dopamine no matter what the psychiatrist prescribes. That is, unless it happens to maybe be an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory, an anti-autoimmune, and an immune balancer. In that case, the depression goes completely bye-bye in a few months, and the patient feels like they did 20 years ago before depression ever hit. No psych med is going to do that if the proper diagnosis is not made.

Sad thing. A proper diagnosis is rarely attempted or even considered.

But I'm different, right? No. Treatment resistance means something else is going on. And whatever it is, the preponderance of the evidence strongly suggests that whatever it is, the tools of the psychiatrist are not within that arena.
