Hi, I Have Depression That Is Probably A Major Depression

Hi,
I have depression that is probably a major depression and I am having it for decades. It was mostly untreated in my life. I got my first antidepressant in 2008 and I was taking it for 1.5 year. It worked, but also made me irritable and made my mild dry eye problem much worse. My depression returned about a year ago. I tried the same medicine and just one or two pills made my eyes very bad. So I stopped. I tied other SSRi too but did not help. I know that antidepressant medications usually make dry eye symptoms worse. So I've tried all possible natuarl remedies that came to my naturopath doctor's mind like SAMe 5HTP etc, but all of them made some of my existing problem worse (such as anxiety, heartburn, dry eye). In the last days I tried St John's Wort and it made the depression worse. I am wondering if there is any natural remedy you know that might help.
