Tb12, I am sorry that you have had to deal with so much hard stuff over the last few years.

One suggestion is that you could get your GP to draw up what is officially called a Mental Health Care Plan with you (http://www.mindhealthconnect.org.au/...alth-care-plan).

A MHCP will give you up to 10 Medicare-subsidised appointments (free if they bulk-bill) with mental health professionals.

It might be an idea if you saw a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist should be able to do a careful assessment of you and, depending, discuss medication options with you.

In my case (I live with Major Depressive Disorder) I have found that a combination of medication (from my psychiatrist) and non-pharmacological approaches (from my clinical psychologist) has been more effective than either in isolation.

All the best.
