I managed to get an appointment with a new psych last week. He is very experienced and has come recommended in a magazine with the leading consultants.
He went through my history and medications and suggested I try imipramine and lithium which i have started.
Finally he told me that with my long history of chronic depression and many failed drug trials I should really consider ECT.
He has suggested because i am moderately depressed i should need around 4 treatments.
I am due to go in on Monday. Im very scared but find I just can't live like this anymore. I mean I'm not contemplating suicide right now but my quality of life is so poor I feel it might get to that one day.
What do you all think? Im so scared about this. Scared about losing my memory and most scared that this may not work for me.
