Medications doesnt seem to be working on me. Im feeling very depresssed with panic attacks. My doctor may do ECT on me and Im worried to have that done. I ll do it because medications arent working after 30 years on antideppressants. Going through a very difficult period right now.
I like to know if this has worked for anyone.
Thanks

I had many ECT treatments and it did not help me. But everyone is different, so I can’t say it won’t b beneficial. Afterwards, I felt like a Zombie for the rest of the day. I also suffered memory loss, some permanent.They told me I was resistant to any medication or other treatments. So I signed for consent, right after I took an OD and got out of ICU. I would just make sure to ask questions and make an informed decision. Good luck if you already haven’t tried it and good luck if you do! Hoping for healing! Hugs!

I don't know. I've been struggling for so long with no positive results. I'm hoping they will have some answers because I am going to try to be admitted to inpatient mental health care tomorrow.

I want to ask you what you do for your depression if medication and ECT arent working.
