    No experience, but AFAIK it is only used as a 'last resort' in very severe cases when various antidepressants etc. have not been effective.

    Not your ornery onager

    Ive been on a good few different anti depressents and still feel so severely bad. Its a pity the patient cannot chose to have it if they want it.

    They can. If the consultant is willing to do it. Perhaps you should discuss it with your Consultant Psychiatrist?

    Depending on your state of mind, self care with a device such as this may help.

    I have one for almost 2 years now. I've used it successfully for a number of ailments.

    For expert guidance with scenar technology however, research scenar therapy Ireland.

    Edit http://www.scenartherapyireland.com/scenar-faqs

    It's licenced for pain relief in the European markets. But it's used for far more, including depression, in Russia.

    Can't guarantee it will help. But worth a shot and perhaps quicker than waiting on what you're requesting.

    Kind wishes to you
