the reason is my psychologist told me that when meds are not effective, there's 2 things, either the body has developed a tolerance, which that ... doesnt make sense, because all the meds i've taken they worked and now the body adapted and went back to it's original state with no meds....it's difficult because sometimes they do work, with mood, but there's times i take nuvigil and nothing, and then 3 days later it has an effect, it's canceling out the meds.....
but 2nd he told me there's low brain voltage, and that sometiems can result into deep depression with electical firing being sigifantly lowered....and it has to have a jump start.....which 1 is the shock, but there are other newer ways to do this that are less harsh....
i don't think im gonna do it right now, 1 the doctor would have to approve, and there's not much of anything that it would help

not a scholar but understand distress.....
