I was hospitalized a little over a year and half ago for depression and doctors recommended it and they tried to convince me to do it and it was my last chance before my insurance ran out (I had lost my job right before that and couldn't pay for cobra any more at that point). My depression did lift and I got a job a couple months after which I have still been able to hold which means I have insurance...I've had depression on and off since I was a young child and I'm starting to fall into depression again and I was wondering if ECT would be more of a lasting solution? Or is it just a quick fix for a short period of time?
