Focus on healthy: Thoughts. Stubbornly insist on finding positive in your life & the world around you. Refuse to let destructive/negative thoughts have any attention. Guide your actions to anything that will make you healthier. It takes a combination of strategies to help like a team. Even if previous nonresponse to ect, it may work if combined with other healthy strategies. Work with your psychiatrist & therapist.
