Depression and anxiety treatment

Hergé

I've struggled with low mood and anxiety for as long as I care to remember, I've tried various medications and talking treatments to no avail. Apparently I am treatment resistant or so they say, which is fun (not).

Has anyone tried something like tDCS or vagus nerve stimulation? I've read about them but I am very cynical when it comes to medical claims online.

  • I would love to try that as I have had severe and enduring depression and anxiety most of my life. 

    I’m not that familiar with that specific treatment’s efficacy, but I have seen information about some form of brain stimulation to treat depression.

    i believe the NHS had run trials on patients who had undergone ECT unsuccessfully. I don’t think it’s generally available on the NHS.
