If you know about this, then ignore me
Interesting. I had never heard of augmenting with Lithium or Thyroid Hormone for depression.

I don't know why no one has ever suggested ECT for me. Maybe they are afraid of it. I know I would be afraid to try it. I did do six weeks of a new one called TMS Trans Cranial Magnetic Stimulation. It didn't do anything.
