休克疗法治疗重度抑郁症的一年

安吉拉，我有两年多的时间拒绝做电痉挛疗法因为我被这个想法吓坏了。在做这个手术之前，我们尝试了所有我们能想到的传统疗法和替代疗法。在那段时间里，我最尊敬的专业人士一个接一个地建议我给女儿做电痉挛疗法。即使在那时，我也会和他们争论，拒绝他们的建议，尽管事实上我在其他所有事情上都信任他们。但是，最终，我女儿的生活质量没有了。她唯一的愿望是结束她的痛苦，她在寻找死亡的方式。我开始研究电痉挛疗法。我和患过这种病的病人谈过。我咨询了那些我钦佩的专业人士，甚至和一对反对的夫妇交谈，以找出原因。我做了尽职调查。 I took my responsibility very seriously. But, we'd run out of other options, so we tried it, and for us, it was an absolute miracle. With it, my daughter has finished college, she has a job, she's socializing with friends, she's cut back on meds, begun to exercise and lose weight and has a thriving social life. You don't need to remind me what I should "realize" about this treatment. I have lived the fear and the realization in a very deep and profound manner. I understand that ECT has had negative effects--maybe terribly negative effects--for a minority of people and that makes me deeply sad for them as I am sad for them when any treatment goes bad and suffering people are either not helped or are actually harmed. Unfortunately, more accepted treatments had already harmed my daughter greatly and threatened her life more than a few times. Until, for us, ECT offered nothing short of a miracle in my daughter's life and I do want to offer that information for others who might be suffering. Thank you for your comment and if you, too, are suffering I wish you the best on your healing journey.

非常感谢你分享你的经验。我女儿有严重的抑郁症，伴有精神病症状。大多数药物在几周或几个月后就失效了。我们正在研究ECT，我希望她是候选人。我唯一担心的是她在上高中。你女儿在治疗期间可以做任何功课吗(这不会让我不做，但我只是想做好准备。)

嗨ShockedB4。谢谢你对我女儿的祝福，我很感激。我很抱歉听到电痉挛疗法让你痛苦了这么多年。我不希望这样的事发生在任何人身上。不幸的是，每个人的身体都是不同的，对治疗的反应也不同。这个女儿服用了一种众所周知的抗抑郁药，并因此产生了危及生命的反应。然而，同样的药物对我的小女儿产生了奇迹。我不能责怪这种药——尽管它几乎要了我大女儿的命——因为它对我小女儿的作用和它声称的完全一样。尽管她们都有精神疾病，也都是我的亲生女儿，但我的两个女儿是不同的，对药物和治疗的反应也不同。药物对我的大女儿不起作用，但电痉挛疗法起作用了。 It also "...reversed some of the detrimental effects that depression has on the brain" as cited by Dr. Lisanby and the National Institute of Mental Illnesshttps://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2016/facebook_q&a_on_ect_summary_152424.pdf．治疗三个月后，电痉挛疗法让我女儿第一次可以工作了。今天，她已经工作了九个多月，并被提升为学前班的班主任。这是一年前我从未想过的事情。我希望你也能找到一些治疗方法，给你带来希望和帮助，就像我女儿找到的那样，不管这种治疗方法是什么。
