    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Treatments

      Electroconvulsive therapy Not Working
      Had this back in the 70s, but it didn't help for more than a couple of months, maybe a year.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      This helps some of the time, but I am still pretty low.
