I have no experience with SSRIs.

I had a severe depression between 2007-2011. I used N-acetylcysteine and I benefitted a lot from it.

Also consider a ketogenic diet. Currently I'm experimenting with it. So far I like it. Prepare for some extreme insomnia in the beginning. This should be getting better after a week. Should not be a problem in your case as you are already spending 22 hours in bed a day.

nightchalk16on Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy for Depression

I had a very nasty depression. Extreme mood swings. From very low up to neutral and back. (I never had manic episodes) Up and down, up and down... It was maddening. And extreme rumination. I discoverd acetylcysteine by accident. I didn't know it could help with depression. I felt its effects within an hour. I immediately went on the internet and searched for "acetylcysteine and depression". That is how I found above article. The internet is full of articles about the efficacy of NAC in relation to psychiatry. I used it for about 6 months. 3 * 600 mg daily.

There needs to be more attention/regard (I'm not sure which word is correct) for the contexts of suicide. A book that addresses this is The sealed box of suicide. The contexts of self-death by Simon Tatz and Colin Tatz.

nightchalk16on Ask HN: How do you deal with depression?

I used acetylcysteine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3044191/

This stuff helped very well.

Depression is a biochemical problem in your brain. It needs a biochemical solution. It is impossible to rationalize your way out of a depression. You cannot cure a depression by choosing behaviour.

Thinking about gyroscopes will not enable you to walk a straight line when drunk! Trying to cure a depression by choosing thoughts or behaviour is futile.

Also have a look at Amber O'Hearn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhxeVU-vT3Q Her mood disorder went away when she changed her diet.

Not true.

Not mentioning lastnames is only a convention by journalists and the media. Publishing lastnames in the media is not a violation of the law. News website geenstijl.nl regularly publishes full names of suspects or criminals.

The convention already existed before the internet.

Update: I should have read more comments...
