Has anyone heard any good/bad reports about ECT? Specifically, not just in cases of knife-to-the-wrist suicidal thoughts - because then anything is better than the Final Cut. But I'm talking about for cases of milder depression, like dysthymia, that are extremely annoying and just won't go away despite how much money we dish out to these pharmaceutical companies, whose CEO's are curing their own depression with every single deposit they make into their bank accounts.
P.S. I don't mean to sound (too) negative. I'm happy for you if you've found the right drugs that have managed to help you for more than a few months before losing their effectiveness and causing you to use more and/or combine with others. (Isn't that the way they used to say that drug pushers got you hooked back in the nancy reagan 'just say no' days?)
