Interesting. But I'm guessing the technology/equipment wouldn't be ready for months or even a year. I just don't have that time atm because I'm so frikken depressed.

It's basically either rTMS, magnetic seizure therapy or unilateral ECT. Or more drugs. But the only drug I want is nardil + something to augment its sh*tty cold intolerance! Why will no doctor work with me on this, F*CK
