> One more thing - because of his lack of response to meds, the doctor tried ECT two more times. The two additional treatments were separated by a number of months. The second time, there was an improvement but after the third time, there was no response. The doctor didn't think it was worth trying after that & my (ex)husband agreed.
Hey IsoM,
Thanks for answering my prior questions. Your ex-husband's situation sounds terrible, I haven't heard of too many individuals failing ECT. May I ask how he is now? Anything helping his depression? What do you do if you fail ECT?
I guess I am asking because your ex-husbands story is frightening, I hope I never reach a point where ECT does not work. My sympathies go out to him.
Sincerely,
Hal
