Does anyone have any experience with treatment resistant depression or ECT? ECT kind of scares me.

I'm personally terrified of ECT bc of the potential for memory loss, I'd be screwed occupationally. I have treatment resistant depression however. There are a couple new options if you don't want to consider ECT. What meds are you on? Are you located in a large or small city? Anywhere near a teaching hospital?
