I know its no consolation, but at the Warneford I met an old chap who had been fighting depression for 50 years. It can be done, hang on in there. If you're struggling, talk to your GP about anti-depressants, there are many different ones out there. If your brain is anything other than an 'off the shelf' model, years of juggling dosage are needed before finding a combination that works for you. If you're on anti-depressants, get a review. You probably need an adjustment. If you're not on anti-depressants, get some. They wont make you 'well' but they will take away the worst of the bad bits.
