I don't know specifically what the cure all for depression is but after years of taking every med imaginable I was finally diagnosed with adult ADHD.I am 46 and felt no relief until I was 45.Vyvanse and adderall work well for me and wellbutrin was pretty good too. My point is that what works on dopamine may possibly help more with overwhelming sadness than something that just works on serotonin.I have been where you are and wish you the best.
