Ect or Rtms therapy

[ThiszanyBiscuit]

I would love to hear of anyone s experiences of ECT or rTMS therapy for depression. I ve been on antidepressants for over 20 years but still having two breakdowns every year. Thinking of trying one of these therapies.

Would not recommend ECT based on family members experience. Do not just rely on ‘official’ sources eg royal college of psychiatrist, look at peer reviewed journal articles on adverse effects in long term studies. RTMS had small benefits but not significant, v pricey privately. Have you considered the flow device? Cheaper product to trial tms…

I’ve read that the keto diet can significantly help with refractory mental health conditions

so difficult to decide getting mixed reviews thanks though

ECT is highly invasive, would exhaust all other options.
