Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Carol,
Has your husband had extensive blood work performed to see if all the recommended essential vitamins, minerals and even trace minerals are within range? I mention this only because it's amazing how having any of them out of the recommended range for an adult can make a person feel. I can attest to that!! And, unfortunately, it was only through my own research I was able to understand which vitamins and minerals to request for my blood work. Results, showed I was out of range for a few. With corrective action, I was able to feel like myself again. For what it's worth, it could be worthwhile and very beneficial to speak to the doctor about having extensive blood work done for the essential vitamins, minerals and even trace minerals . It certainly won't hurt and could be very informative!!!!

We just saw his neurologist she put him on another med and requested he have an abdominal scan for cancer..she just can't figure out what's going on...I am making apt with another nuerologist.

Did you go back for maintenance with the ECT? My brother did not. I do feel it helped a little but then I didn’t see anymore change and he was back where he was

Yes. He did 10 but when he got out he probably should have gone for maintenance. Thank you.

To beck0584. Good luck with that. Sounds like he's really got his heels dug in. A therapist might do telehealth w him?
