Denise...I have not tried TMS,ECT,VNS or DBS and I was hoping to avoid those, esp ECT which will
not be an option for me...too many lies, too much residual cognitive impairment.I've heard of vagus nerve stim, is TMS something to do with magnets and what is DBS?
Hopefully I can find a medication/combo to work since all of those treatments require another level of treatment with hospital care, etc.
I really believe medication can work for most depression except I believe the pdocs are not the most experienced in choosing which meds will work for which patients. I'm trying to help my pdoc choose the right meds but it hasn't been working lately.
My mood went down in the last week and I saw it for what it is worth, a condition with alot more treatments, but for me, given my history, little options for improvement...SG
