So are we - the treatment-resistant - just supposed to sit back and accept a life of chronic discontent? If my doctor told me that I'd go home and kill myself. Doctors who give up on someone who has TRD by telling them "Just accept you're not going to get any better..." are doctors who are going against their oath not to harm. They're also showing their ignorance and unwillingness to do EVERYTHING in their power to get your depression in remission so you can return to a normal life. The doctor is also not supposed to give up. They tell us not to commit suicide/not to give up - and then they give up themselves. Digusting.
Get a new doctor.
