This medicine did not alleviate my depression . At each subsequent appointment , I told the psychiatrist that my depression was n't getting any better . On the PHQ-9 form ( a survey of symptoms ) that I was required to fill out at each visit , I always checked off that I had thoughts of suicide . After a month , I asked the psychiatrist if she could please put me on a different medicine - that the Lamictal was n't working .

Question: What will you do if you do not get better ?
Answer: I may look for a different form of medicationI will go to see another doctorNone of the above choices .I will persist with the medicine I am on
