Yes, actually we are pretty good at treating depression. The problem is that it often takes a long time to find the right drug or combination of drugs. We have lots of good drugs (and more in development) but not any good ways of matching them up to a particular patient. All we can do is keep trying. I agree with your doc that you would be considered Treatment refractory, which just means that it will take more tries with combinations to get to the right one. But we do.
Be well.
