    If you have had serious depression, ECT could be a good option to consider.

    Sorry about the spelling mistakes.

    Thx for this testimonial on ECT Tom. I've been seriously thinking about it because meds are not effective for me. Your experience sounds very promising. My mom (a former nurse) really does NOT want me to try it but I feel it's mostly because she witnessed treatments first hand and she feels it's too harsh. However, it's not her body (or head) and I think most people who are mentally healthy just don't understand us depressed folk and how debilitating it can be.

    Hi AJ,

    It seems no one is interested in ECT, which is very effective treating Depression. What a pity !
