depression "cycling" while on medication?

Posted by Mike on January 10, 2000, at 9:22:31

Someone close to me suffering from severe long-term depression has expressed puzzlement as to why his prescribed medications seem to bring relief sometimes,
while other times the severe depression returns. He has observed that the illness still cycles in spite of the chemicals which his doctors insist stabilize and modify his neurotransmitters.

He has been on many different "mixtures". He has also undergone ECT. As he observes, there must be a biological reason as to why he seems to get occasional temporary and or cyclic relief.

Thanks for any insights.
Mike
