Hi again,
What I don't get is why I'm not even given the option of trying ECT. My pscyhiatrist keeps telling me it doesn't work for my kind of depression which is dysthymic with double depression and anxiety on top. I've been on this drug merry go round (and I'm happy to keep trying medications) but I would really like the option of trying every tool available. She also said that it would probably work for about four weeks and then I'd be back in the doldroms again. But this isnt the case for many.
How is my case different from yours would you say. Maybe I'm just deluding myself that ECT would be a quick fix but all I'm hoping for is that it would maybe, somehow help these medications that I am taking to work better.
Denise
