Hey Jeroen, sorry for your struggles. I know you've mentioned some friends with negative ECT results.... but, maybe it's something to consider?By now you've probably tried all meds at least once and it sounds like you're not getting anywhere?
I don't care what others say about ECT but it certainly helped me. Yes, I agree it should be used as a last ditch option, such as what you are experiencing now?
Side effects for me were short-term memory loss, and that was a blessing for me, helped calm my mind! If you've been in hospital that long and all med trials have failed.... do you have anything to lose at this point?
I hope you find the right treatment and begin to enjoy life again.
Regards, Rick
