How Can Severe Depressive Disorder And Lack Of Energy Be Treated?

I have been previously diagnosed with severe depressive disorder in 2014 , I took antidepressants, when the doctor tried to stop them in 2016, I felt the symptoms again, then I went to a different doctor so that I could get a prescription again. I still take them, I also have been lacking energy to do anything, I started buying multivitamins, then I started functioning again. Does it mean I will live my life with those for ever?

dear
In my opinion to avoid such drug dependancy it is you only who can help yourself.Please be firm,avoid all negative thoughts in your mind.Please practice a simple exercise - every day after going to bed at night and 5 minutes before just you get your sleep,please think of all beautiful and positive things in our lives,need less to think of your self.Ffriend,family,pets,nature.
All beautiful,positive and nice things to be thought off.
Practice it for a month and I am sure you ll not require the antidepressants.
Hope this helps
