I think it makes more sense to take action NOW instead of waiting. People who do that get better a lot faster than those who don't. In my case it took 20 years of failed psychiatrists and a backpack full of failed prescriptions before I realized I was on the wrong road. I eventually beat my treatment resistant major depression by treating it as Lyme disease instead. That's because my doctors told me that 9 out of 10 psychiatric patients poorly managed by drugs actually have an unsuspected steal infection instead. It sounded absolutely ridiculous the first time I heard that. But I acted on it because I had exhausted every other thing coming down 'the pipeline'.
And I got better. I had 2 years of remission, a 6 month relapse, currently treating again, some minor issues but depression is not one of them.
Lest anybody think, yeah, well, that's rare, that's just you, that doesn't happen very often - no that is all wrong - it happens a lot - it happens to literally millions of people - they get psychiatrically better when they treat it as something else other than a chemical imbalance - they go after the cause of the chemical imbalance - which is 9 out of 10 caused by an infection, toxins, and inflammation, all tied together to totally disrupt your nervous system and brain in ways impossible for any man-made substance to address.
