I thank you greatly for taking the time to provide me with this information. I hope it proves useful, as the doctors I have seen in my area seem reluctant to even listen to me speak about this therapy. It seems silly that they're more concerned with medicine killing me than they are with me killing myself. My previous doctor actually chuckled when I said that exact thing to him, which I found very disrespectful. The benefits far outweigh the risks, so it's very difficult when you've run out of options and you cannot receive the type of help that you know works. Hopefully the new doctor I made an appointment with is willing to consider it. I've been prescribed just about every SSRI, SNRI, AAP, Mood Stabilizer, and TCA with no benefit, so I don't understand why it's such a fight. The EMSAM actually helps me quite a bit, especially with the suicidal thoughts, but I am completely numb to any pleasure and suffer from Chronic Fatigue as well.
