Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

She has depression and has tried many medicines with no relief. If an individual fails to respond to a medicine then trial of other medicine with different class of antidepressants is given. SSRIs and SNRIs are commonly used as anti-depressants. Augmentation drugs like lamotrigine, lithium carbonate etc can be added for resistant depression.

Brain stimulation methods like RTMS (Recurrent Trans Cranial Magnetic Stimulation), ECT (electro convulsive therapy), Vagal Nerve Stimulation etc can be kept for reserved treatment and help in early recovery. Visit her psychiatrist and discuss about these treatment modalities.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
