Thanks for your comments. I am unemployed so not going to therapy b/c of the costs. I would be interested in any other suggestions. I've been taking Deplin for about a month now and I think it helps. How can one determine if they lack the enzymes?

Some of the university offer fee psychotherapy counseling. Such as Argosy university which has campuses all over the US or Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena or any other University that has a school of psychology.

My son started Deplin, 15 mg one a day about 9 weeks ago .
August 29, 2018 - 5:12pmHe suffers from Depression , Anxiety and PTSD for many years . He has tried most of the SRI’s and SNRI’s. Seemingly, Lexapro as well as Klonopin
was helping him the best . Since he has been on the Lexapro for 10 years , it start to lose it’s efficacy. His psychiatrist suggested Deplin.
Because he read that it could take up to 10werks to work , he struggled through . There were days that he felt discouraged but he keep taking it day .
Finally , at the 9 th week he felt a difference.
His depression has decreased , his mood is better and additionally , his anxiety has decreased as well . This Deplin is a blessing.
Finally ,
Don’t think you are going to have an instant “cure”.
Deplin seems to take some time for it to work .
Everyone has a different experience ; Just don’t give up too early !!!
