Thanks for you support. I hope you find answers that you are looking for too.

I know of one person here who posts regularly who has had ect treatments and they saved her life. she was very suicidal and that was the only thing that helped along with a great therapist.
I would ask her to post to you but she is out having surgery for cancer.
I can tell you this that she was able to take the first part of her cpa exam and passed really well even though she has had all of those treatments.
so that is good. She has tried the vns implaint for her depression but that did not help her as far as I can tell and she had that turned off.
anytime you are faced with a big decision it is good to get feelback. you may want to do a google search there are probably forums, also you may want to check out psych central forum our parent forum and see if they can answer you, give you feed back.
