Chloe,
I would think my results with ECT are similar to yours. I had my 6th treatment on Friday 25 and feel the relief beginning. Does your pdoc have any plans for ADs in conjunction with ECT or following your completion of treatments? Parnate has been mentioned to me and that's fine if needed.
I have been getting strong suggestions from the pdoc to start Cognitive Therapy (talk therapy) this is the part I strongly disagree with. It is just my belief this is a genetic, biochemical, and physiologic disorder we have to live with.....I don't believe there is a psycho-social component. It would be most helpful if the psychologists would confine themselves to treating neurotics and stay away from those of us with major mood disorders.
Glad you are making progress.
Best regards,
Geezer
