dear Thrud,
you might also trace back you life to the point when you started to be depressed and anxious. what was first, anxiety, or depriession? Try cognitive therapy for it.
Another approach is orthomolecular psychiatry, it works wonders for some people who do not respond well to medication (once they are off the pills, the symptoms come back full swing). you might lack some vitamins that catalyze natural serotonin production in your body, or have an excess of other chemicals that inhibit it. Give it a try. Won't hurt, you know. ECT, to my knowledge is applied very cautiously today. And it is a shot in the dark, for the mechanism of it is poorly understood. elizabeth is right when she is saying that only memories immediately preceeding the ECT will vanish. long-term memory is not affected. Your profesional skills won't be affected.
