I am 40 years old. I am severely depressed since my childhood. Since childhood I have not felt happy even for a few seconds. I have completely lost all positive emotions. I have tried homeopathy Ayurveda allopathy for longer time with high dose but nothing helping. psychotherapy also not helped due to severity of depression. Feeling like I am the only person on earth who is not helped with medication n therapy. Do I have to live with this severe depression as far as I am alive?

Hello Lybrate user Depression is a mood disorder which can be treated and managed by combination therapy i.e. One needs to have medecines along with regular counselling sessions to manage the symptoms well. It might take longer time due to severity of the depression but it can be taken care of by the team of mental health professionals i.e. Psychologist and a psychiatrist. One needs to assess in details the symptoms and causal factors along with detailed case history to understand it better. Try consulting the professionals and follow up with treatment. You can also reach out to me through the Lybrate app.
