I don’t think antidepressants work

i have seriously treatment-resistant depression and 4 years of trying 15+ medications hadn’t worked ever

My boyfriend's depression is the same way. That's why I'm trying to convince him to get ECT.

@SW-User what is that?

@ShaythePanTransMan It's electroconvulsive therapy, and it has a very high success rate.

@Jayelle Hmm where can I get that lol?
Jayelle · 31-35, M
I've been on mine for about 10 years. I sometimes wonder if it's even helping.

Have you tried ECT?
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@OggggO no, that sounds interesting

@ShaythePanTransMan Ask your doctor, might be worth a shot if nothing else is working.

@OggggO hm my therapist said that’s usually only for people who are severely depressed like I’m functionally depressed
I could bring it up but I’m worried my doctor would laugh at me
