I suffered dp for 40 years, since age 17. I had severe temporal lobe seizures then, but didn't understand what happened to me for 40 years.
I found a case history in a British neurological journal at age 57, that explained I was suffering from a rare epileptic disorder
and the worst case is when the post ictal period following the seizures segues into an affective disorder of major depression.
I had a recurrent episode of major depression on average, every 8 years. Each was an epic struggle for survival. My illness ended
in 2014, when I underwent Electroconvulsive therapy. I had an induced grand mal seizure every other day for 2 weeks. I would say
those seizures reversed the effects of the seizures I had at age 17. It was as if my firmware had been restored to factory
defaults. I don't own stock in any electrical utility. ECT is still the most effective treatment for major depression, despite all the big Pharma
hype over pharmaceuticals. Maybe you should look into it.
In the previous six years, I haven't considered suicide as an option.
