I am 19 which is quite young I understand, but whenever I try to talk to someone about being depressed or how I have a mental illness a lot of people just say I am being over dramatic when I have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and have been admitted before. Why don't people believe me? Is it just cause of my age?
I think it’s because it’s been overlay, discussed, and diagnosed and opinionated by person who do not suffer our problems, it simply been Overly discussed without the seriousness that comes with it
Has anyone experienced memory issues after ect treatments? I have heard stories of ect erasing memories of patients and messing with their short term memory as well.

Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?

I am not yet eligible for retirement with full benefits and have to work, but I have no "free" time (this time I post while waiting to see if I have to accompany a family member to the emergency room—now becoming a daily occurrence) and am simply a bundle of nerves. I am taking care of my blood pressure and have asked for help from friends, which my family will not accept because they are "strong."

Hi. I suffer from major depression and anxiety and have suicidal thoughts nearly every day and I am wondering if ECT would be right for me.
