According to the two M.D.s who rescued me from treatment resistant depression, and the one Nurse Practitioner and different M.D. now, 9 out of 10 psychiatric patients respond to the same treatment I did....but there are only half a dozen or so M.D.s in each state who are trained on this stuff, tons of scientific research on each item, but not on using them to treat psychiatric symptoms. It's a holistic approach, a blanket approach, shotgun approach, not a precision strike.
I hope you can reach remission again!

By the time the same treatment was instituted, I was no longer responsive to it. I often wonder where I would be had I continued with the original treatment uninterrupted.
