Fighting Major Depressive Disorder for past 20 years.

I have been suffering through depression since 2003 when I was just a kid, have been through all kinds of abuse in my family. Somehow I still managed to believe in love and I tried and did everything. Right now I am in the process of breaking up my current relationship because it's becoming way too toxic for me as I have been suicidal more than I have ever been in my life. I am trying to be strong. My Mental health is now affecting my physical health and I feel like I am slowly dying. I am lost and I need help, I need a way out from this life. I need a Job can someone please help me with one? I live in Mumbai. All I want is to not die and live a better life. Can please someone suggest a way out of everything as I can't seem to do it myself. I want myself back, I want my confidence and will to be alive, to feel something.

Have you ever consulted a Psychiatrist. What medications ate you on ?

I have consulted twice, but I have never been able to continue. I don't remember the names of the medications but mostly they were antidepressants and sleeping pills.
Dr Gaurav Aggarwal
If you would have continued the medicine, theres high chances you would have recovered by now. Psychiatric Medicines takes 10 -15 days to start working. You can once again consult a Psychiatrist but this time take medicine religiously. You will be started on max 1-2 medicines.

Honestly If I could have continued I would have. The reason I wasn't able to is because of my financial issues.
Dr Gaurav Aggarwal
Medicines are not that expensive. Not getting treating will lead to much more financial problems as you would not be able to work with your full potential and in long term will hamper your goals
