Depression that worsens with age?

Posted by Bryn B on July 1, 2012, at 10:21:32

I was wondering what everyone's experience has been re: their depression and/or symptoms getting worse or harder to deal with as they age.
I'm finding that my depressive episodes are more severe and longer-lasting as I get older. Medication seems more like a chemical band-aid than anything else.
Does this have anything to do with the type of mood disorder we are diagnosed with? Curious...
Thoughts?
