What's about your diet? Maybe to much sugar? Maybe gluten\casein intolerance? Maybe fast food?

 

my diet is fantastic. No fast food in years. No sugar. lots of lean protein, good fats (brazil nuts, walnuts) and good carbs (quinoa, oatmeal).

Sorry I can't help you about supplements, I was just wondering. Except your depression is not something genetic (which is rare, despite what some doctor say, luckly just some), do you know what caused your depression ?

I know that probably, even if it's psychological depression, you are so depressed right now that you can't work a way out of it just with your own strenght, so you are looking for some substance that can help you, but I guess that if you know on what to work about yourself it could get better way faster. 

You wrote that talk therapy doesn't seems to help, that makes me think you didn't find any clue yet. Talk therapy is itself therapeutic in most cases, but finding "the" problem (or problems) to work on gives you a sense of control and an active role on this situation and could help much more. If you don't realize anything usefull it may be a good idea to change psychologist.

In my experience I've been depressed because my point of view about life, had to change lot of things, what helped me most are talk therapy, reading and meditation (this one expecially for anxiety), these three things gave me the tools to grow and change, even if the change has not come to an end yet. Luckly I found an ssri that worked, but it just worked on symptoms not on the causes, I'm sure about this because I used them for 2 years without working much on myself, and everytime I tapered it off my symptoms came back, until I started to change.
