What is best option for someone with treatment-resistant depression/anxiety? Let me tell you which generic answers I am NOT looking for: online support groups, special restrictive diets, traditional antidepressants/therapy, exercise, "miracle cure" drugs and herbs. ALL of these I've tried with limited or no benefits at all. I'm only looking for input about SEVERE depression that hasn't responded to any traditional methods of treatment. Is there any relief possible? I am 21 years old and I've lived with these problems all my life and I don't wish to continue to do so. I thought I was clear about what I had asked for, but after reading some answers I think it's necessary to add some details, because many of these answers have no relevance to what I have asked. I did not ask about your feelings towards religion or God. Furthermore, the quote "If you know God you will never be depressed" is downright offensive. That same person also seems to think I'm "allowing" myself to drown in gloom and that I'm not trying to help myself ?? Preach to someone else. Another individual was arrogant enough to suggest that I am "choosing" to cling to my depression for drugs or some other reason. Depression is a medical condition, not a conscious decision. I certainly didn't wake up one day and CHOOSE this lifestyle! I'm a male, and I have already seen several psychiatrists and taken many rx drugs, after all, I did ask about treatment RESISTANT depression. I don't have bipolar. Thanks for ALL input, but PLEASE, SERIOUS/RELEVANT ANSWERS ONLY
