That is all true, unfortunately. And for treatment-resistant conditions, doctors need to be willing to try all kinds of drugs, with or without an official indication for the condition. And not just follow official "guidelines", because *if* such treatments work, then the condition was not particularly "treatment-resistant" in the first place.
