Re: Severe Depression
Mate I am trying to get back to you but I am moderated.
This is what worked for me.
Moderate doses of probiotics and prebiotics. Its a gut health issue. Possibly causd by antibiotics. I dont know for sure.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Severe Depression
Hi @Siddhant, I'd have to say see a doctor as soon as you can. I know very well the feeling of being able to do little else but sleep. In my experience it is, as you say, severe depression. This tends not to just go away by itself, again speaking only from my own experience. I believe you need to be healthier in mind to have the energy to explore the options that are open in your life, and more independent of your family. I think you need medical help now and, for me, this would be the top priority. Wishing you well.

Re: Severe Depression
I think I can help iswhatitis, are you still there, its been a few days since the message was posted. I have been helping with advice for a year now on a Tinnitus forum where depression is rife. I am limited when I can reply, usually about this time in the evening here in the UK. Are you M/F and what country do you live in, if you don't mind me asking.
Steve.

Re: Severe Depression
Enigma, Did you get better without the SSRI's? I've been given some pretty strong stuff. I believe in dealing with the world as it is. I feel like shit, but my view of reality would be the same even if I were'nt depressed.

Re: Severe Depression
I have read an article on such kind of depression and posting few parts from there.
"How well is your depression treatment working? Does it help a bit, but you still don't feel as if the darkness has lifted? Perhaps you feel the treatment isn't working at all. If so, you could have treatment-resistant depression, also called refractory depression.
Unfortunately, depression treatments don't always work. As many as two-thirds of people with depression aren't helped by the first antidepressant they try. Up to a third don't respond to several attempts at treatment.
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) can leave you feeling hopeless and discouraged. Months or even years can go by without any relief. And after the effort it took to get help, it can be demoralizing when you're just not getting better.
But if your depression treatment isn't working, don't give up. Many people can get their treatment-resistant depression under control. You and your doctor just need to find the right approach. This might include different drugs, therapy, and other treatments. If you're still struggling with depression despite treatment, here's what you need to know.
Understanding Treatment-Resistant Depression
What is treatment-resistant depression? Surprisingly, that can be hard to answer. Experts still disagree on what exactly the term means.
Some researchers define TRD as a case of depression that doesn't respond to two different antidepressants from different classes. Other experts say that a person needs to try at least four different treatments before depression can be truly considered treatment-resistant.
Of course for you, the exact definition doesn't matter. You just need to ask yourself some basic questions.
Has your treatment failed to make you feel better?
Has your treatment helped a bit, but you still don’t feel like your old self?
Have the side effects of your medication been hard to handle?
If the answer is yes to any of these, you need to see your doctor. Whether or not you actually have treatment-resistant depression, you need expert help."
