Hi, please let me know what your doctor says about maintenance ECT. I've tried every medication imaginable since I was 9 years old and I'm now 29. I'm depressed, but don't have any other co-existing mental health conditions. Are you bipolar or just depressed? Do you struggle with any other forms of mental illness? I'm very desperate and currently considering ECT, so any information you have to share would be very helpful. I can't imagine the cognitive impairment of depression being less damaging than the effects of a life of maintenance treatments on ECT, but I'm sure it's possible. Also, if you have any other questions, please let me know anytime.
