Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your depression. You have mentioned that you have already been tried on different anti-depressant medication, but have not had a resolution of your symptoms. So, it is likely that you are suffering from what we call a treatment resistant depression. In such a case, the next step would be to try a combination of two antidepressants or to augment the antidepressant medication with Lithium or Thyroxine. Also, adding on CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) to medication has also been proven to be effective. So, I would advise you to discuss these options with your doctor so that the next appropriate line of treatment can be decided. Wish you all the best.
