C: If you start a natural approach to alleviating D, you can expect to reduce your meds at least 50% which may be sufficient to not be put out by negative side-effects.

Here is the E.C. page for D https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/depression.html

I am so sorry to hear of this long-term depression. Have you considered that it could be physical also? I can remember a time of severe depression, some mental and much of it, as I look back, may have been physical. I had a high level of mercury for many years; so much of my depression could have been related to that. Please read the sections on earth clinic related to depression, mercury, hormones, etc. to see if there might be another issue.

My prayer today is for you, that the Lord Jesus will bring you comfort and hope. Pray for strength and for God to give you wisdom according to your need! I am no longer depressed and if I have a day that I am, it is generally a physical thing. I know you can live without this.
