Symptoms of depression can include a down mood, low energy, feelings of hopelessness, and many more. If you have been taking medicine, and it does not seem to be helping, you may be suffering from treatment-resistant depression.

This is a form of depression that hasn’t improved after trying two or more anti-depressants, or symptoms that return after a short period of improving.
