You can't really trust doctors. Perfect example, they can never guarantee anything. Not without risk their job or even their license to be on line.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

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. I'm on clonazepam aka klonopin for my anxiety and it seems to work quite well though I know they don't recommend taking it long term. I take a low dose of abilify and take 150mg of Zoloft each morning for my depression and I'm not sure if either 1 is working
Who do i talk to about the possibility of ECT? I see my psychiatrist for the first time tomorrow… read more
