Electroconvulsive therapy. 

For about 6 months now. I have been dealing with crippling depression. The kind where you ask your husband to tuck in your kid at night because you just want to go to bed. The kind where you can’t be present in the moment because nothing interests you. I’ve been on several, medications. I’m not sure of the exact number, but it’s in the double digits I’m sure. Or maybe that’s an exaggeration. I am diagnosed bipolar 1. I have been diagnosed since my early childhood. I finally talked to my doctor about treatment resistant depression. We decided on ECT as there were complications with the alternatives. Mostly being due to access. I wanted to know if anyone has done ECT and what your experience is with it. Or if you’ve done any research on it what your take on it is.
