Treatment resistant depression is so under treated!! So many suicides could be prevented if most DR's would consider glutamate antagonists for their clients. Unfortunately glutamate antagonists, such as ketamine iv & even Spravato aren't covered by people's health insurance, even those these meds are FDA approved for treatment resistant depression. Unless you have severe treatment resistant depression you'll never understand how debilitating it is. It's gotten to the point that only the wealthy can afford the rather fast acting TRD meds. Auvelity isn't even covered by most prescription health insurance – the entire pharmaceutical industry is rigged & it's all about price gouging and nothing more!!
The biggest problem with treatment resistant depression, is that they are treating it with everything but what it should be treated with; don't be misled, these people are the charlatans and misinformation peddlers – keeping you in a perpetual state of pharmaceutical addiction.. the sad thing is that I will be seen as the outlier.. that I will be mocked, rather than engaged in a reasonable and rational manner..
@Medscape is there a way to contact you through email? I would not ask unless I was desperate. I used to be independent and greatly self reliant. I spiraled and for 3 years I've relentlessly searched for help with treatment resistant care options. I am met with the answers " I don't know " " I don't have the resources " " there is no funding for that"..the Obudsman told me the only way id receive the help I need is to pretend im 51/50. I contacted the city council, numerous numbers listed on dhhs, mental health america, samsha, nami…ive contacted non profits..advocacy programs..im in diar need to be treated so i may rehabilitate and to stop the torture of acute anxiety, major depressive disorder and the ptsd. In a short time ive spiraled so much im unrecognizable. I don't want to die. I can't believe we were created to live in turmoil. Ive given up over 50 times and i cant now. I refuse to believe theres no one to help me gain access to treatment that can provide me the ability to be my best self..so I can then create a life of simplicity and happiness..i want to feel normal..in 3 years..to be hindered I can't process it. I've done everything humanly possible. I knew I had to go outside of myself…Im running on fumes. The doctor says " ask scientists " etc. How do we do that¿?? To journey to finding anyone is gut wrenching. It takes so much out of a person..how do we reach hope. How do we find such a person who has the willingness, morality..someone who does help…I NEED help..I need to know where..please..im tired. Im soo tired.

Read the book The Copper Revolution by Jason Hommel.

If you have treatment resistant depression than watch out for food sensitivities, cut down foods that make your mental health worse…
