The path to remission in TRD is not usually linear and smooth. It follows an inclined sawtooth pattern. There are ups and downs. However, each peak is hopefully higher than the one that preceded it. The downs become less deep.Look at the red line:

One step at a time. If you truly get stuck, then you can look at augmenting strategies.
Good luck.
