My father had ECT when he was in his 40s and was hospitalized for his mental illness. It was very intense and left him with no memory of large parts of his life. I can understand why your doctor doesn't want to approve that for you, especially since you did well on the Escitalopram (depralex). Stick it out a little longer. Has it been a month since you restarted the medication? Did you start taking the new medication, Brintellix, instead of the Depralex? Hang in there, good things take time.

I would not recommend ECT for anyone. I am not a doctor. Have had them under care of very old doctors believing it was the only way. What a terrible thing to do to a human being when there were so many newer things available. You come out not knowing who you are and are never the same again. There is no way of knowing which memories will be remain. I have been trying to make new happy memories.
