Welcome back, you were missed and many of us were very worried about you. Of course not hearing from you for so long really got us thinking about what may have happened to you...
I have also said many times to my pdoc, I will never have ECT. I believe the damage that is done will make my life much harder than it already has been. I also found that a suicidal episode for me was eradicated rather quickly with seroquel, so that is my drug of choice if I get stuck there again. I think meds can do as much as ECT except you have to have a pdoc that is really skilled in medications.
Like ECT, meds can stop the suicidal thoughts cold if they are the right ones.
Hope you are doing better since this hospitalization. It sounds like it was a good thing for you...New insight?
