Katdarling...My youngest aunt was the same way also...til she started st. john's wort...(she can't afford the meds)...With me there were other issues besides the depression....issues I had to work through from my childhood...and I eventually did with the help of some one outside the family...unfotunately, she actually needs to want the help...as do you...before it will work...I am confident though that things will work out eventually....my best wishes for you and your family, my dear friend...take care
