I saw many people over the years IP and they choose ECT , I could literally see a difference after a treatment or 2..

Only complaints that anyone mentioned was memory that day prior to treatment they could not recall and all complained of a pretty significant headache, which they were quickly treated, most would be going to dinner that day.

ECT of today is nothing like ECT even 5 years ago.

I hope you find some relief, you are a wonderful person and deserve to enjoy life more.
Thank you for commenting! I value your observations and your opinions.
Yes, I believe ECT is very refined now. I believe TMS, once refined, will be the "go to" procedure, possibly before lots of drug trials. We need more money/funding for the TMS research/refinement. (At this point, I'd even consider the Deep Brain Stimulation" implant... and I hope that is also further developed.)

Thanks again!
