Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Here is a link to some "miracle" treatment for Depression and other head problems......

Is this one of those too good to be true things?
I actually came across this when i was researching ECT.
Do you think it is worth a shot before i go into the nuthouse and let them fry my brains? In my opinion if there is any hope this device will work, do you think it is worth the $895 to try. I mean this Depression is so bad my life is at stake. I lost my job....or am losing it. I am afraid to go. The people there are so mean...and in the state of mind i am in i just cannot handle it. I nursed for 7 years and this is the first time in my life i have blew through jobs every year. Anway.....i did a search on ECT and some of the topics are a little old. Can anyone give me a run-down of what to expect if that treatment i mentioned above does not help or we can cannot get the money together to pay for it. They have rent to own programs that are risk free if it does not work. They say it is in the class of a TENS unit, which is for pain but it works entirely different. I have a TENS unit.....lol, when i read that website i thought to myself well will just figure out where they put the electrodes and just hook myself up to the TENS unit and give myself a few shocks....lol. I am dead serious about that btw.....it is stupid i know, but i am so desperate for relief. My depression has NEVER been this bad.
Is ECT going to make me stupid....does it help? I don't know what to do.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Have you tried CBT?
