Does anyone have any experience with treatment resistant depression or ECT? ECT kind of scares me.
It would scare me too. Some people report horrible problems and memory loss with ECT. Some say it is the only thing that helped. Have you tried all the safe, healthy, non-med ways to get better? I'm not surprised about the meds. They very often don't work.
