Help I have an appointment with psychiatrist tomorrow

[KillingPain267]

It's my third time where they re-evaluate my treatment. I tried some medications for depression and social anxiety (SSRIs, Agomelatine, SNRIs and Quetiapine all failed) and the latest regime I am on is middle dosages of Mirtazapine (30mg) and Pregabalin (300mg). It takes only the edge off depression and anxiety. But I'm still dysfunctional, can't work, can't meet new people and feel crying every day. Only good is that I can sleep, unlike back in summer.

What should I say to the meeting? If I tell the above, what could they possibly offer of treatment next? Note: I never told them I think of suicide and never will.

It can feel powerless to be in the hands of those who do not understand and be subject to their experimentation. They might even stumble across something that helps, but in the mean time it might be useful to do some of your own experiments such as nutrition, supplements, exercise (even if only isometrics), or activities. By establishing some control over what you do, you might be able to push back against feeling like you are being pushed out of your own life.
