GeezerI am supposed to start on ECT in about a month time and I would love to hear from people who have had this treatment.
I have been suffering from depression for most of my life. For the past 13 years I have been on medication. It started as a severe case 13 years ago to the month. Gradually most of the symptoms are now under control except anhedonia.
Apart from five glorious weeks when I first started Mirtazapine, the best I have managed is a steady flat functional state.
I am not looking forward to ECT but I have exhausted all other avenues. My worst fear is that if that doesn’t help then I’ll really have nowhere to go.
I can see how it can help with anxiety and catatonic depression but can it really help with anhedonia?
