Hey spector. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I haven't had the gumption to contact anyone about this yet. It just feels too overwhelming. I found someone in my city who does neurofeedback, but how do I know they are legit? And how would I know if they do this new type of feedback you are talking about? I just don't have the energy to figure all of this out.
My stomach is shot from my last trial of remeron, so now I can't even take another med if I wanted to. If you have severe stomach problems and are mentally ill, you are soooo screwed.
You said this new form of neurofeedback was like a kinder version of ECT. I was wondering if you have considered rTMS? It at least has doubleblind studies with about a 60% success rate I believe. It is probably closer to the ECT than the neurofeedback. Forgive me if you have already tried this and I forgot.
You are in my prayers
