LI,
Thanks for your response, the psychiatrist who I am seeing is not recommending it, in fact she is against it but I just keep thinking what have I got to lose
I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket, I've tried lots of medication and I am seeing a Cognitive behavioural therapist because I know I should try anything but to be honest I'm not sure where the therapy is going or how it is going to help. I've had my third session and so far I've not had any great insights. I do know what my strengths and weaknesses are already and don't need them pointing out to me.
Part of me just wants to try every possible tool, treatment to beat this thing and ECT is one of them. But then maybe I would have it and rue the day. I really don't know. I also thought if I have Unilateral ECT then at least the memory risks aren't as great.
Anyway, thanks for responding.
Denise
