> Hi there,

Ketoconazole has the antidepressant effect by itself. There is some medical literature about it.
As far as the anxiety goes, I didn't have that much anxiety at the time I did ECT.
Right now when I think about it, I feel like a needle going to my brain.
But I know if I don't take the action, I will stay
that way - I have definitely a chemical imbalance.
I used to respond very nice to medications.
Thank You everyone for responding.
