chronic Depression - Can a Long Term solution Be Found?
Treatment for depression has come a long way in the past several years. Most individuals that have depressive symptoms for more than a couple of weeks now have a smorgasboard selection of different antidepressant medications that can be prescribed for them by their doctor. Although it normally takes 3-4 weeks for most individuals to absorb the medication into their system sufficiently enough for it to work, the majority of these patients can get themselves back on track after a few short months of taking their medicine.
But what about those individuals that have chronic depression?
People that suffer chronic depression have a serious disorder that, once diagnosed, require continuous treatment and regular doses of antidepressant medication. Those with chronic depression continue to take medication, under the supervision of their doctor, as long as necessary in order to maintain a "normal" chemical balance in their brain that helps them to lead a normal, productive life.
Recently, many individuals suffering from chronic depression have built up a tolerance to their medication. This problem isn't isolated to antidepressant medication, as many people will build a tolerance to what they're taking over time. However, most antidepressants were actually designed for "normal" per se people and shorter periods of use. In other words, the people with the real problems weren't being targeted when these drugs were created.
There are other therapies available such as light therapy, shock therapy, electromagnetic therapy, ect. The problem here is that some people aren't able to use these treatments because of other existing conditions. Also, the vagus nerve pacemaker makes most individuals uncomfortable because it must be placed underneath the skin. Even then there's no guarantee of success.
Neither researchers nor physicians understand why the human brain goes from working fine to becoming unbalanced. One theory is aging of the brain, but this theory doesn't quite fit for patients that are now twenty five years old and have been having problems since they were fifteen. That's only ten years and doesn't fit the theory.
Research is being aggressively done in order to find answers for those that have these long term issues, but answers are coming slow and if the individuals current medication stops working then it presents a real problem for these people to continue to lead a normal life. Chronic depression is a very serious condition that can easily take over a person's life, affecting their jobs and their relationships with family and friends.
The biggest challange faced by researchers is the fact that so many people react differently to the current depression drugs on the market. They don't have a very sound blueprint to work from when creating something new.
At this point the only thing that can be done for those that suffer from chronic depression is to continue to try different combinations of medications on individuals until, hopefully, the doctor can find the combination that will be helpful and then, hopefully on a long term basis. We can only hope that a permanent, long term solution will be found soon for these individuals.

RE-- Depression Cycling-- I constantly cycle from happy to sad, I get on a new drug, it works for a few weeks?
then BANG i CRASH again! then back to dr., try a new one, it works for a few weeks then i crash again,, anyone out there had this happen & was able to overcome it? I think I am Bi-Polar 2 & i am currently on: Ablifiy- 7 mgs, adderall-40mgs, paxil- 60 mgs, & Remeron- 30 mgs.
Besideds asking my dr, what advice, life experiences out there might be able to help me out please..??
ps- mood stabilizers ive been on: Lithium, Ablify, Lamictal, & Depakote.
It scares me that you think you are Bipolar 2. If the Dr. is prescribing you all those medications, you need to have a clear diagnosis. Certainly I would assume it would be Bipolar but if you are a rapid cycler, that is more serious than Bipolar II. Always be sure exactly what your diagnosis is, ask your doctor exactly what he is treating you for. I do not like to give personal opinions on meds because everyone has their opinions on them however I would have to agree that I would personally rather try staying on the same med for a longer period and up the dosage than keep switching. Eventually you must switch but that is over time not immediatley. Also, those are a lot of meds for only Biploar II.. Paxil 60 MG is strong. They usually change you after 40 MG and Abilify is used a lot for Bipolar I and schizophrenia.
You need to have a clear communication with your doc. If you don't completely understand everything, ask. If your doc is not compassionate toward your mental health, find a new one. Don't let your doctor treat you like another mentally ill statistic. You are a human being and deserve the caring, respect and chance to heal in the best way possible.
Good Luck.
