Hey @beautifuldisaster67 I also feel the same way about ECT. I feel like it's insane and will never be an option for me but I have also been severely depressed, and extremely anxious and really haven't been able to stay on meds due to side effects. So I understand! I am still hoping to do TMS one more time as a Booster but if that doesn't work I have to try what few meds I have left to try and trust me there are not many left. And I have also asked myself if none of this works will I do ECT and the truth is it will be hard to accept but if it ends up being my last resort then yes I will absolutely do it because living in a severe deep depression is no way to live and if there is any hope at all I am willing to do what I have to do to get better.
I know it's hard but if the doctors think ECT will be good for you then it may be worth it. I think the most important thing to do is to be sure you understand the possible outcomes 100% before committing. It's too invasive not to be completely prepared.
I wish you the very best and hope you find the relief you're looking for!
