I am over it?: At age 18 it's hard to have tried every thing. Some times treatment of depression can be hard and several modalities need to be combined and at times it's misdiagnosed. Get a fresh opinion at a teaching hospital in your area. There are so many new modalities of treatments; apart from new meds and therapy techniques, like transcranial magnetic resonance.

Focus: Find a therapist who takes a real interest in you, pay close attention, and hold on very tightly to the value of patience. Although your therapist may not prescribe medicines, over time they may have some insights about you that would help your prescriber. Put your anchor down into this and don't let go. Keep questioning why exactly you are here, and be relentless with it.
