Thank you guys for all you do. The bipolar depression can be extremely dehabilitating it's literally impossible to describe at times. And if a fix can be found for that it'd be life changing. However, I don't think taking a risk of putting electricity in your brain is a smart move to make..
I've had ECT as well as TMS and other interventions like ketamine. I have treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. I work in a neurosurgery clinic, in which our surgeons among other things place electrodes in the brain for treatment of Parkinson's, with a battery implanted in the chest or side. The gut reaction or fear of these types of interventions is misplaced. It's definitely a natural fear, but your doctor can probably provide you with a lot of evidence that these things can be safe and effective. When I got ECT, it was helpful to reflect that many people live with epilepsy disorders and continue their lives--and when I felt the effect of ECT, it was as if I had a brain transplant. So many things I had hated about myself evaporated, and I could suddenly do things that became the basis of my self-respect. I still have depression, but I have a degree and a job because when I need it these treatments are available. I hope we see more of them.
