Well, I guess all I can say is to look at killing the causes of depression instead of just trying to blanket the symptoms of it.

Meds that can do that include:
DMSA
Antibiotics
Diflucan

Herbs are many, including:
Cumanda
Coptis
Garlic
Japanese Knotwood
Rhodiola
Olive Leaf

And of course, a healthy vitamin supplement, healthy intake of omega oils in the diet...assuming you are not one of the 10% who experience pro-inflammatory from it instead of anti-inflammatory.

Stop all wheat products. Avoid gluten. Minimize or eliminate dairy.

I know some of these things sound absurd to those who don't know. Hey, autistic kids have been cured by simply removing their milk, ok? We are born to believe we can pop into our mouth any common food we want. Well, sometimes we can't. This has to be high on the list of suspects whenever a chronic longtem psychiatric issue is at hand.

My own discovery. Eat a handful of fresh parsley 3 times a day.

Your suspects should be:
Chronic unsuspected bacterial infection within, not reliably diagnosable by lab test.
Chronic unsuspected fungal infection within, not relaibly diagnosable by lab test.
Heavy metal accumulation. Usually lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum. This is diagnosable by a DMSA before-and-after provoked urine test with high dose DMSA.

The above 3 work in concert. One can cause the other. It is impossible to know which came first. Primary symptoms in practically all cases are depression, anxiety, schizophrenia. Secondary symptoms are inflammation, fatigue, and arthritic type pain.

Probably not the answer you expected. But if you want to have a chance of ending the 30 year battle, you gotta do all you can, and you gotta suspect everything, most especially if you never suspected it before and if you think it is hogwash. The depression has a definite cause. Pdocs don't care about that. They are in the business of selling drug prescriptions.

At least you know MAOIs can help. In my book, that aint good enough. You should be 95% well. That is going to involve cleaning out the body of toxins.

I say this based primarily on people with stories that look identical to yours, and their eventual cures ended up being due to a long overdue diagnosis of Lyme disease, or Candida, or mercury/lead toxicity, even when no one had a clue where the metals came from. On the right treatments, they felt like themselves before illness ever struck. No psych meds needed. Though they were helpful along the journey.

Just food for thought.
