Hormones, apparently the culprit here, as well as brain chemicals.

I was diagnosed in 2001 and until 2006 it was a struggle to find the right medication combination and I was also in therapy at that time weekly. Sometimes it just takes time to figure out what will help. Also even though I have had years at a time being stable I still get bouts of depression and anxiety. Sometimes I don't feel like it ever goes away but in reality it always gets better and I just have to be patient when I have an episode. Hang in there and don't give up no matter what!!!

The medication takes time to work. Be patient. There are also several changes until the correct combination combination is found. The meds will also make the therapy work better. Give it a chance.
