Hi, In case of no improvement, any of the following may be the reasons: 1. Not taking the medicine regularly 2. The diagnosis may require a relook 3. There may be associated medical conditions which may mask the response of medicines. Please note that there are around 60-70 % chances of improvement with any single antidepressant. In case of non improvement, if none of the above factors is applicable, change in treatment strategy may be required. This may mean change in antidepressant or Psychotherapy or Brain Stimulation methods. You should discuss this with your treating Psychiatrist. As he knows the patient best, he should be able to guide you much better. Best wishes.
