What Is The Treatment For Depression And Anxiety Despite Taking Anti-depressants?
Hi I have severe mental problem and 3 members of my family are schizophrenics and I'm 25 and sort of know it's coming but right now I suffer from really bad depression and anxiety and barely ever leave my house. I have tried cognitive behavioral therapy and it did not work and many anti depressants and anti anxiety medication and all either failed or amplified my symptoms. Please help, but don't say I need to see someone because I always go to my gp and get put on a list for 4-5 months only to be disappointed.
