Chris,
Well it sounds like you have also run the gamut on all of the various treatments. I, too, struggle horribly with GAD. I empathize with you. And I can't even count how many more natural or holistic approaches I took to help ease the pain. Acupuncture, yoga, a myriad of overpriced supplements, and on and on and on. I know that exercise and diet and filling the body and mind with the natural things in life is very important, but it just isn't enough for me to function and it sounds like that is the case for you as well. ECT has been a blessing and a curse for me. It does help with the anxiety, depression, OCD tendencies etc. And I know that the vast majority of ECT patients do NOT have to go as often as I have/do so their side effects are much less severe. I say this because I have to admit that it can help very extreme situations and provide relief for some. If you decide to consider it and ever want to know more about it from a client's pov just let me know. I also recently tried several months worth of TMS. Not sure it did much to help me in particular, but it is pain free and has helped others! Worth a shot... Do you have good health insurance?
