It's just not the advice you're looking for:
There is no drug on this earth that will fix your life. There are only drugs which relieve the symptoms of disorders, such as reducing the attention deficit, or easing anxiety.
And, in the case of ADD, behavior modification therapy can help as much as drugs in many cases.
ECT won't help you. Working on boundaries with your mother would help you. Working on relaxation techniques would help you. Working to focus more on solutions than on problems would probably help you.
How about trying talk therapy, Matt? Don't you think that could maybe help, without running the risks that ECT would pose?
