If you can find it in your area, I can't recommend Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation which is indicated for treatment-resistant depression. Too tired to really go into too much detail now, but I'd be glad to share my and my wife's successful treatment.

I really appreciate your recommendation. I am so glad for you and your wife. I would love to try tms. The problem is I can’t afford tms and my insurance does not cover it. So discouraging.

The antidepressants either don't work or stop working all together after you've been taking them for a while.

Hope this helps to shed some light, Monique

As far as I've been aware, if you've failed to experience improvements over the course of two years and two meds, that's what is considered "treatment-resistant" and got me qualified for TMS.
