hi. when you say you deal with 'depression' what do you mean? agitation, lethargic, too little sleep, too much sleep???
maybe antidepressants aren't for you. old school remedies...valium+stimulant, neuroleptic+stimulant, neuroleptic+benzodiazepine, etc....are perfectly viable options for some people, if drugs are the way to go.
have talking treatments ever helped? im not so sure why some people are so gung ho about therapy...to me, its conversation, and it can go very wrong, too...but it does help a lot of people.
"alternative" stuff...I don't know that much about. I take high dose vitamins (Orthomolecular) on top of 2 standard pscyh drugs. It works well for me, but its more of a booser than a stand alone thing...other people swear by herbs, amino acids, detoxes, etc.
wish i could be of more help, but...newer psych drugs are less toxic and such than the older ones, but its pretty much the same stuff (block dopamine, boost dopamine, blah blah blah), just repackaged and cleaned up a bit.
hope this helps a bit.
