Hi all I just joined this to forum to vent and also get hopefully get some support along this next stage in my depression treatment. I'm 26 and have been suffering for 10 years with depression/anxiety and after being treatment resistant with countless antidepressants and antipsychotics and with many suicide attempts (also self harm to feel something other then darkness). I have voluntary come back to hospital after deciding to give ECT a go. My Psychologist agreed and also advised one of the most effective anti depressants, Parnate (which comes with a low tyramine diet).

I'm not sure what else to say or ask as I have never participated in a forum like this but any support from people in similar situations, especially anyone with advice on Ect treatment/recovery (what to expect and what not to expect).

It's taken a lot of time and energy just to write this so I will leave it there for now.

Fingers crossed
