> I asked the doctors and even cried in thier office. They said no. That ECT is way down the line. What these bastards need to realize is that their other patients surely can wait, they can manage until a med works, I CAN NOT. Those bastard doctors. At the hospital the main experience they have is people with mild or moderate depression. My case is very severe at times. They dont want me to have ECT. The jerks said it can cause memory problems. Well I DONT CARE. I have no memory with this damned depression as it is. I cant remember anything. I need to make the suffering stop. the dirty animals. they make me so sick.

> how can i get ECT?? Do I need to do a damn suicide attempt before the bastards listen. The doctors at the hospital weren't even convinced i had anything but a mild problem. one of the doctors had the nerve to me he thinks i have some normalicy in my mood. i am sick of the nonsense. and my mother wont pay for the ECT so we need the doctors to approve it so i can get it for free with the canadian ohip card. i dont know what the hell to doGosh, Adamie, I don't know what to say, I'm kind of at a loss. I can see how hard you've tried to get it.
Maybe some of the other posters would have more of a clue than I do. They seem pretty hip to the ins and outs. I'm going to add something on the "subject" line and hope it'll get some more info for you.
