Remember, though that part of my problem was an undiagnosed thyroid disorder. AND the meds choices are far better now than they were a decade ago and 2 decades ago--and apparently, the earlier in life depression is treated, the better the chances of preventing later episodes and preventing worsening episodes. I had gone a lot longer than you with untreated depression, so my course was bound to be worse. YOu have the advantage of being young, of starting treatment earlier. If you can find the med combo that will help you get your depression under control, you will have much better chances of a better recovery than I have had.
