Hi Linkadge,
I really don't think that the depression changes as you get older, I think that it just gets worse. I've tried every single class of AD and none of them come near to making me feel like they did when I first started taking them. I believe that the more episodes you have things start going wrong further down the line.
Maybe there is a reduction in serotonin transporters and these decrease the older you get. Something like that anyway. I don't think it's a case of the depression changing anyway, I think it just gets worse, which is scary.
I hope that one day soon they find out more about what goes on in the brain during depression.
Kind Regards......Denise
