Would you consider repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)?There is such a thing as magnetic seizure therapy (MST). It is still in its infancy. It applies a transcranial magnetic flux sufficient to induce a seizure. It is hoped that it will produce antidepressant efficacy comparable to ECT while sparing the patient the cognitive side effects of ECT.
I'm stage 5 by the way.
