Though there are many different Major Depressive Disorder Treatments

available, Major Depressive Disorder often proves difficult to treat. Medication and therapy are the most commonly used treatments for Major Depressive Disorder, but they don’t work for everyone. There's a no size fits all solution when it comes to depression, so you will need to trial and error different treatments until you find what works best for you. If traditional treatments haven't worked for you in the past, don't lose hope – there are  Alternative Depression Treatment Options available that may be more successful, for instance, TMS, Accelerated TMS, and Ketamine IV.
