But you feel pretty certain it was being put under that kicked you out of the funk?
Yes, I have been put under twice. In the 18 years of fighting depression I felt better. Almost a 90% better after anesthesia. I haven't felt 10% better at best. The good feelings last about 3 weeks. You can sure feel when it is leaving you and depression is coming back.
