@Satch1 Hello Satch1, thank you for opening this discussion and sharing what you've been through. Let me tag some other members who may be able share some advice with you.
Hello everyone, how are you today? Have you ever felt a bit abandoned by your doctors in regards to your depression or that none of the medicines you've been prescribed for it helped? What did you do about it?

I'm sorry but I have to agree with satch1, iv spent hrs working with my local mht, and I'm sorry again but they were rubbish they have no idea how to work with clinical depression ,here some tablets bye , doctor was even worse she said to me if you had come about your heart then I'm the one to see but mental health and I'm out off my depth let me refer you to your mht, hi mht how can you help me ?? We've tried all the tablets and talking therapy will only make it worse! Ok fine bye that was 3yrs ago and I refuse to go back to either of them rubbish!!!

I have tried numerous anti depressants for forty years and none of them worked . I was sent to see a psychiatrist recently and he put me on a course of mood enhancers which made me quite poorly. When I told him he said unfortunately medication doesn't work for everyone but didn't offer me an alternative to medication. I am still suffering and not getting any help .

@Satch1 How did the brain scan go? Has anyone tried any alternative treatments or anything? I'm don't feel like my medicines are working anymore like they should and I'm tired going round and round with the doctors over this.
