Hi Nick,
Yes I remember writing to you about the VNS. I checked your thread and a lot of what you say makes sense, although I really hope there will be a cure in our lifetime.
Thanks for the link to Dr Amen's site. I have heard of him, actually bought his book. But what I don't see is how he would be able to explain from scans why SSRI's which used to work no longer work and that's the thing that fustrates me the most.
However, I might just take a holiday to America one year and at least have the scans just out of interest, although it is expensive.
I've been trying to get an MRI scan here in the UK. It's ridiculous really, I contacted this psychiatrist/professor at Oxford and he told me I could easily get some scans as part of the number of trials they are doing on depression. But then apparently because I live in the Midlands am not in the right catchment area so couldn't go on them!
Anyway, I continue to search for something effective. Hope you find something if you haven't already done so.
Denise
