Just use ECT. 90% Efficacy rate, and for most, it works within a week's time, worst case, within the month.
If I had any idea how pathetically simple it all was, I would have done it, if I had to do it all over again. And I am in remission.
It's not worth the wait, the gambling game, of med trials for years and years.
1 year is fine. After that, if a doc isn't considering ECT, it's either the patient won't consent, or the doc's rationale is fundamentally grounded by hysteria, and little else. The APA fully supports its safety and efficacy.
