Therapy Girl,
There have been some wonderful posts on this thread, and I don't think I can come close to adding anything to their intelligence and eloquence.
I do want to concur about the new treatments that are in the pipeline. When I was a child and depressed, there were virtually no treatments available, especially for children who were considered not to suffer from depression. We know and can offer so much more now.
Keep in mind how thyroid and other medical conditions can influence mood, particularly symptoms of depression. While these medical conditions can have their own treatment difficulties (as you know! A good endo would work wonders in your case and I hope you can find one), they do offer yet another route through which your mood problems might be corrected. Another point where the brain biochemistry might be tweakable to reduce your depression symptoms.
Also TG, you are grieving so that is another component. That is not a lifelong condition, though it certainly adds to the weight of what you are feeling. It will not always be so.
