Get rid of the depression, and all the causes you need be concerned with will have been dealt with. Some drug combo will almost certainly work eventually, and you will probably not believe that until it does, for depression turns off the 'hope-centers' of the brain. If nothing else works time will. My very best wishes.

I do not have to 'imagine' the pain of depression or the 'impatience'--much too mild a term for one of the two or three most hellish experiences on earth. I've been there repeatedly, and I assume I shall have recurrences as long as I live. My best wishes for you and all in our position was sincere.
