Specializes in Psychiatry

Long-time depression: You've been suffering a long time, but it's not clear whether you've consulted a psychiatrist? Or has your treatment been mainly meds from your primary care doctor? I've seen many women with similar histories, and often they need psychotherapy along with any useful medications. Unhealed trauma is common, and may perpetuate depression also. Nutritional work may help as well.
