Depression is my lifestyle! Have been on so many drugs; now on an MAOI. Learned CBT, RET, DBT, meditation and other modalities. I know what ECT is; saw people in the hospital undergoing sessions and have read about it.

It has come to the finality that nothing will help, only alleviate symptoms a short period, then life falls into an even lower place. New assaults wreak havoc on what little strength my mind has left. It is in desperation that I ask for input & insights regarding ECT. Tomorrow is my appointment with pdoc.

Has ECT really helped any of you? If memory loss occurs, that would be a good thing, memories keep the depression fresh inside my mind & soul, over & over!
