Thank you for your advice . I've been doing all you've suggested .I'm on the same medication for 3 years . Dr just keeps saying try cbt and exercise and time off work . . Can I demand a new medication or am I just not fixable ?

Are you in Ireland or UK?

So the GP is treating you with medication. It takes time to work. The other things to try are counselling and exercise.

Hello, have you seen your GP? Depression is an illness that can be treated. What’s happening for you, regarding your job?
