Hi Peter,

Questions are no problem, I will answer as best I can.

DX - Major Unipolar Depression, Melancholoic, Chronic. This is a condition that was inherited from my mother and I have been fighting it for more than 30 years. I decided to try ECT because none of the ADs had any effect on the depression any longer (no AD works forever). I have had 10 ECT treatments, will have 2 more at two week intervals, then MAYBE do one treatment per month for maintenance. There has been improvement but not what I would call major. I am hopeful the treatments will bring about better response from the ADs. If you are getting no benefit from the ADs I would encourage you to try ECT, I have experienced no adverse SEs from the treatments. In my experience the "horror stories" and "treatment of last resort" fables are complete nonsense.

Wish you the very best,

Geezer
