Hi,
I think you have to be virtually cotamose in order to be referred for ECT, not sleeping, not eating and just not functioning at all. Well that seems to be the case in the UK because they won't let me try it.
I think in the States it's different though. The guidelines seem to be that if you have tried everything to no avail then ECT is the next step.
Have you asked your psychiatrist about ECT?
