Hey, great that you're doing so much better!
>Lastly, not sure if they still do it, but have you ever had insulin therapy for your depression?
Not been performed for many many years. Insulin 'therapy' used a toxic dose of insulin to induce severe hypoglycaemia. This resulted in heavy sweating, coma and convulsions. Some were given ECT whilst unconscious. Patients were then rescued with a dose of IV glucose. Occasionally, patients died or suffered permanent brain damage. Suffice to say the use of insulin in psychiatry was misguided.
