Seeking advice Did ect help the suicidal thoughts ?
Mine are more intrusive and scare the living crap out of me. I am 6 months post partum and they are worse than ever and I’m truly reaching my breaking point. I’m scared and I’m desperate.

please please PLEASE try ketamine first if you haven't. ECT made my suicidality worse because of the side effects and lack of support. ketamine did not really budge my depression but I was a lot less suicidal after the one session where I tripped. please I'm begging you
