I have received treatment for depression and anxiety since I was 13 (24 y/o now). I have received countless hours of counseling, a smorgasbord of psychotropic medications, and seven electro-convulsive shock therapy (ECT) sessions. These professionals could never definitely diagnose with me with anything but depression and anxiety and only made my condition worse. I have sought out the help of a licensed herbalist and most recently, a chiropractor (he also practices alternative medicine), who have both prescribed herbal supplements. Most recently, I have undergone treatment from an otolaryngologist (ENT) who conducted a series of labs that revealed environmental allergies, food intolerance/leaky gut syndrome, and low thyroid. I have since been on an allergy elimination diet and taking 30 mg of Armour Thyroid. However, I have noticed no difference in my aforementioned mental symptoms.
I have done all I know to do. I have went to all my regularly scheduled appointments, taken all my prescribed medications/supplements, and changed many aspects of my life. I have quit smoking, diet adjustments including the abstinence of all substances containing caffeine and foods persistent to an allergy elimination diet, started to exercise on a regular basis, etc.
I just want my life back, by any means possible. I look forward to any feedback or advice you could provide.
