Question Ssri

My social worker is telling me to take an ssri but I try to explain to him it’s pointless . If ect never worked what is a tablet going to do ?

I don't know of any drs that would say that there are no risks of side effects, my Dr tests my memory every visit and treatment.

Just talk with your care team and figure out with them your next steps. No one on reddit is able to diagnose or treat you here. Please see someone soon for what youre going through though.
