I have a friend who's had lifelong depression and had very good results from CBD after a couple of weeks of use. It was someone who hates meds and who I've been trying to get to take antidepressants for decades so it was quite a surprise to see them completely transformed by it. Personally I've been depressed for as long as I remember and I've had incredible results from (medical) Ketamine. It was pretty much an overnight cure that lasted about 6 months. On the other hand CBD doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. The thing to understand with heavy depression, and anti-depressants if you haven't taken them before, is that when your depression is chemically treated, it's like a veil is lifted from your mind. You suddenly are lucid, everything is no longer miserable and you didn't realize how truly miserable it was before. I would highly recommend you at least try something if it's been going on for as long as you remember and nothing else works. It's normal to be scared but give yourself a chance. It is transformative in ways you can't imagine. If you seek medical advice, as would be wise, don't trust a single doctor, seek multiple opinions and take them with a large grain of salt, not as absolutes.
