How Can I Treat Depression That Has Lasted For Years?

Depression since 1981 and permanent. Am disabled due to it. It doesn't get better even with medication or group therapy. No one clearly appreciates my personal trauma because they're not me. No matter how they try, they are without 'words' which might/could help.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In chronic depression, you need combination of treatment, that would help you to come out of it. I would suggest you venlafaxine with mirtazapine. Along with medication, you can try life style modification. You can also try cognitive behavioral therapy, that would give you some additional benefit. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
