Hi Harry I agree with you about the ECT although I have seen it help some people. Have you thought about trying TMS (the magnet therapy).
I considered it last fall but then things got better. I never would have thought I would have considered even that but somehow it didn't seem as bad as ECT. You don't have to be unconscious or anything. I read about it on DR. Ivan's site and they had some places listed that were using it. It wasn't a complete list though because a medical school near here is also using it and it wasn't listed. Here you didn't even have to pay for it because it was a research project. You did have to get off all the meds first though. Just a thought.

Do you think you could get nicotine patches or gum and ease off the cigarettes? Harry, I hate giving advice and I'm no good at all at giving pep talks, but you've got to keep trying. Isn't there someone you trust somewhere that can help you come up with some alternatives? If you don't feel well enough to go to day treatment in the morning then go back to the hospital and demand your money back. (just kidding) Really though you should think about going back if you're not able to function at all or if you're feeling -well, you know, that feeling.

Buy your cat some treats, this hasn't been easy on her either. You sound like you're really feeling bad-I hope it gets better soon. A.
