They question everything. They do not trust the patient, in their own understanding of what is normal for them. The have huge egos. He was set in his thinking that you have a psychiatry diagnosis. He can not get beyond that. ECT is for major depression. For both seizures and depression they are using a vagus nerve stimulator. It was first designed for people who had uncontrolled epilepsy but then they found it also helped their depression. So now they are using it for treatment depression. I bet you go to one of those hospitals that are known for doing studies. I hate those. The doctor must be doing a study on the ECT or you just do not fit into their criteria. Or there is a third option. He can not over-look the concept of you having a psychiatric disorder. (discrimination) Get a second opinion. OK?
