Has anyone had any success with a pyschopharmacologist? Or at a hospital in NYC? I am so depressed today. I feel like my life is a big fat nothing. Today is my birthday & my life has been worthless. I go back & forth from wanting to give up on finding treatment & still wanting to try. I don't know what to do anymore. Please share your story if this has happened to you.

Hello Northforkmom. Happy Birthday !
About 15 years ago I was in such a deep depression that my meds weren't really helping. I had ECT treatments. Has that been suggested? I don't think I would be here without it. I've since maintain with meds. It's not to be taken lightly but it does work for some people.
