Hi lybrate-user. In treatment of depression you may find medications called antidepressants beneficial and psychological therapies. Most antidepressants have similar efficacy data from research. There are certain suggestions that I wish to make 1. Stick to one psychiatrist, who you think you have good rapport with, as moving from one to another is not of much help. 2. Any one antidepressant medication should be given ample time at optimal therapeutic dose for it to work for instance 4 to 6 weeks. If one medication doesn't work after trial for adequate duration then can change to another one. Or sometimes augmented with a different medication. 3. Try adding psychological therapy and practical problem solving. If depression is severe and not responding to the above measures severe ECT may be tried or in some centres rTMS is available.
