Hi all,
So with none of the anti-depressants working my doctor suggested I maybe try ECT. I asked him how it works and he said no one knows. I asked him if there were any side effects and he says there are none. That sounds too good to be true.
Has anyone done ECT before. Sounds really scarry
Before you let your doctor conduct the ECT on you, why don't you try getting out from your house and do a long run; run until you feel very exhausted and go home and sleep, then tomorrow,do the same thing.. Try running long distance for a week and tell me if it works or not.. If it works slightly, then drop the topic on ECT. ECT got side effects and doctors will not tell you what it is because they don't want to scare you.
I have failed medical therapy because i am allergic to everything and CBT also failed numerous times.. almost on ECT but i refused.. (I was an ex-medical student and i know what an ECT really does).. tried pulling myself out from bed and making myself run until very exhausted, go home and sleep, then try again tomorrow and within a week, i am slightly better.. Try my method first, ok..? and report back.. thank you.. :hugtackles:
