Still depressed after ECT
I recently had
ECT
done (14treatments) I was feeling like it had changed my life and I was able to live again. But now I am back to feeling low moods, no motivation, and all the other symptoms associated with depression and anxiety.

Finding the Right Treatment
I have tried 10 different medications, I do weekly therapy, see a psychiatric NP and I have finally resorted to
ECT
until my insurance company stopped paying for anesthesia. I can't afford to do it without insurance covering anesthesia and you can't do
ECT
without anesthesia. So...

Treatment Resistant Depressant
I’m going to be meeting with a clinic about other options ie:
ECT
etc. I’m very scared and anxious as this feels next level to me in my illness. Have you tried
ECT
and/or Esketamine and what has your experience been?

ECT? Keen for peoples lived experiences
I’ve been referred for
ECT
and keen to hear from people who’ve had the treatment or in the process and how it was/is for you. The overall result - good bad or neutral? If there’s any good or bad things you experienced. Any tips? Would you do it again if needed?

norethisterone to delay period
does anyone have experience with norethisterone to delay period for holidays
ect
? I have never used it but i have a holiday coming up that the pain of being on my period would completely ruin. For me, delaying the period pain is a main priority.

ECT and VNS
I’m out of things to try and feeling very desperate . Does anyone have any experience with either of these treatments? I’m truly suffering and I’m not sure how much more I can take. I’ve tried so many medications and alternative therapies I’m very lonley and I’m worried my depression will never stop.

15y ADHD Med Trial & Error
Any one have any advice, tips,
ect
about what meds worked and didn't work for their kiddos? (I know everyone is different and what works for 1 might not work for the next,
ect
. But just being knowledgeable about potential side effects is helpful)

Depression
Tried
ECT
and magnetic therapy. Had 32 trans magnetic stimulation txs Mon-Fri in Oct and Nov. I know I will hang in there. I hang in there and then I go into a deep depression when it gets harder and harder to hang in there. I know this is a disease.

Why is this so hard, someone to talk to
I had treatment resistant depression for my entire adult life, I've been on pretty much every med, hospitalized,
ECT
tms and ketamine. Nothings helped. I've gone the DBT and cbt route. I've been suicidal. Can anyone out there relate? I'm married with a 13 year old which makes it harder.

The Dark Time Came Again: Dealing with MDD and ECT/TMS Decision
I am unsure if I should go for TMS or
ECT
as the former is expensive and the latter is pretty invasive, and I am worried about having to take time off from work. Any suggestions here?
