Criteria for Major Depression in DSMV here.

All of my symptoms that do point to depression are caused by my lack of emotion. I find it strange to call it depression since I'm not depressed, I just... don't feel much of anything at all. I don't have a mood that is up or down. Technically it is depression, but it's weird to call it that, and even DocJohn had trouble labeling it that. My anhedonia isn't just about blunting pleasure, but also it extends to blunting sadness, because I can't feel sad. I'm just a walking zombie.

I tried therapy for 3 years and it only gave me a lot of grief. I don't think I want to give it another try. I don't want to go through another troubled therapist. They seemed more troubled than me.

Chemically my brain just won't function emotionally. Maybe ECT is the answer. It just kills me that the sign up for Obama care if RIGHT when my work cuts off and becomes completely stagnant. I can't pay the $150 a month with the $1500 deductible. I'm really jealous of those that have health insurance.

I go back and forth on my diagnosis all the time. What is certain is that I experienced depression (actual sadness and not anhedonia) along side with a severe paranoid delusion for a year until I finally was treated. If I went off my Geodon I might find out if I'm schizoaffective or bipolar with a mixed state but why in the world would I do that really? Maybe schizoaffective depression type. I don't really know.

I relate to the thread you linked. The depressionforum online on a different website has a huge study on anhedonia and it's really disheartening to see all these people stuck without emotions for years. They just don't recover, once it sets it that's it just about. There are VERY few people who have recovered from what I have.

Hugs....I guess I was just thinking there might be more treatment options if it were depression.....maybe not though.....

I wonder what ETC really does to the brain.

It looks really scary and interesting.

I want to understand more about it. I'd love to be a neurologist.

So depression understood in this context is not due to lack of brain activity, but too much activity and neural networks that are hotwired together that aren't suppose to be cause the depression. So ECT works as mini seizures to the brain.

An illustration: My computer is on, many web pages are open, I have a media player open, windows explorer is open and my computer is now starting to lag. Where CBT might teach the computer user to shut off prgrams one by one, ECT just shuts them all off and the computer and restarts the computer with a fresh boot.

Short term memory issues happen in proximity of your treatment but usually lefts. Long term memories may disappear. Confusion often happens. Nausea. It takes 6-12 treatments until one's depression lifts.

I question whether it would work for me because I'm just not having activity at all, but maybe my serotonin receptor that SSRI's hack could use a restart. I would try it if I had the money, but I wont any time soon, and when I do I wont be able to get insurance, since Obamacare is only open to enroll for a few months, which is sickening.
