She is the best!

Great

My doctor retired, I saw her to continue my maintenance ECT, which had been effective. She was unfamiliar with the medical literature on ECT, for example she told me it was only appropriate for those who attempted suicide…ACOG says ECT is gold standard for pregnant women with depression. She described ECT, and all meds, having same mechanism of action as a narcotic. In my visit, clinical depression was conflated with addiction. Pushed CBT, which is fine, it’s good, but said several times the goal was to be on fewest meds possible. Absurd. My goal is to wake up in the morning and not regret I’m alive. Pill number, high or low, is irrelevant. She mentioned my BMI (how fat I am) played into my depression. I’m 5’7” 140lbs. Humiliating. Again, pushed going off my meds- didn’t have time to hear what happened when I tried that before (supervised, of course). If you have treatment-resistant depression, going off your meds is not a good idea. Stay away. Stay safe.
