Hello, My name is Loras. I'm an eighteen year old male diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, and I currently take 300 mg of Effexor. I recently started researching alternate treatments to my disorder, or maybe a possible cure. I came across Electroshock therapy, and became intrigued. Like Frankenstein, I thought. All jokes aside though, I may actually want to pursue this course.

I am a Christian, and I suppose you can say I grew up in a strict house (at least when it was still together as one.) All my life I've struggled with homosexual tendencies, and I feel horrible about it. I'm lead to believe that I can't just choose to stop, or else I would have by now. Perhaps the electroshock therapy could help? Please, no hate. I'm not saying anything bad about homosexuality, however, I'd prefer to change. I've prayed every night for the past 9 years that I realized I'm deviating from my parent's path for me, and I still act on these damn temptations.

Please, give me your advice!

Loras

ECT is not used for that purpose.
Thanks for this!

Homosexuality is something you are born with you will not change that.
Accept it. I don't know where you live, but here being gay is not a problem.
It's not good or bad is just how you are.

Whether to have ECT or not is a very personal decision. I chose to. It was very trying time and I was not functioning anymore. But 13 years later I know I made the right decision. I had it over 30 times and it saved my life.

I hope you find your way, whether it includes ECT or not.
