I have Complex PTSD, with depression and anxiety, due to childhood sexual/physical abuse. I mentioned TMS- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation- it's not yet an approved treatment, but is similiar to ECT, but using magnetic, rather than electrical stimulation. I think it's generally considered to be less powerful than ECT, but it's easy to take. It takes just 20 minutes, and you can drive yourself home, as you don't suffer any memory loss. I have received it four times from Dr Mark Hutto of Atlanta. It helped a lot for several months, but does need to be repeated.
I'm sorry to hear that ECT didn't work. Have you given the MAOI's or Wellbutrin a try?
