Thank you for sharing your story with us. It appears to me you may have eating disorder with co-morbid depression. Both conditions can be aggravated by stress and both need to be treated.
It will be good if you can carefully recall all the treatments that you have received over the years and write down all down. If you have been admitted to hospital, you can also refer to the discharge summaries that you have received from the hospital. You can create two columns, 1 for the type of treatment (including medication) and the other for the response that you have following that treatment modality. Your response can be in the form of gaining control over eating and/or improvement in mood or sleep.
You may also try to recall amongst the psychiatrists that you have received treatment from, do you have good rapport with any of them? If you can identify a particular psychiatrist whom you are comfortable with, it will be a good idea to arrange for an appointment with him or her and discuss your case records. Very often after taking such a chronological history, the psychiatrist will have a better idea of what works and what will not work in your case. The psychiatrist will also try to figure out the perpetuating factors for your condition and what cause the conditions to relapse.
You may also consider the use of talk therapy like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which works for both depression and eating disorder. There is evidence that CBT may prevent relapses in depression and eating disorder.
Cheers! Take good care of your mood, sleep and food intake!
