> What does anybody here do when the drugs and therapy stop working and you can't stop the freefall into deep depression? I'm older than most here(57) so maybe you can't help just thought I'd ask in case. Thanks for your time.
I'm not quite as old as you but I'm still getting long in the tooth.
I've been through drug after drug after drug. I recently started augmenting with a thyroid hormone, and I feel better. Far from 100%, but improved, and continuing to improve.
I never got too much out of therapy. I wish it worked better for me, because the drugs all have side effects.
All I can suggest is to keep plugging away.
