ECT
-
AAAAGH!
Not
long
after
writing
about
Electroshock
therapy
and
I
would
NEVER
ever
do
it.
Now,
I'm
considering
it.
Am I
THAT
crazy?
Last
week,
my
psychiatrist
gave
up
on
me.
Basically,
she
said
that
because
I'm
not
responding
to
any
medications,
she
is
at a
loss
as
to
what
to
do
for
me.
She
told
me
to
get
a
second
opinion
on
meds
and
ECT
and
then
let
her
know.
How
can
any
doctor
just
give
up
on
you?
Oh,
sure,
that's
uplifting
for
a
severe
depressive?
2
psychiatrists
ago,
that
one
gave
up
on
me
too.
I
think
they
stopped
carrying
our
insurance
and
just
ignored
me.
I
eventually
sent
him
a
letter
condemning
how
a
doctor
could
do
that
to a
depressed
person.
(You
guessed
it -
no
response.)
I
have
made
an
appointment
with
another
Psych.
This
will
be
my
4th
one
in
one
year
and
my
6th
in
my
entire
life.
My
therapist
talks
about
hope,
and
finding
the
right
doc.
How
many
times
can
I go
through
this?
Is
ECT
my
only
hope?
Anyone
who
has
any
insight
on
meds,
ect,
depression,
etc.
-
please
write
me.
I
could
use
some
help
from
someone
who
has
gone
through
the
same
thing.
Thanks.
