Electro Convulsive Therapy for depression?

[AnonyMs]

They are asking me to give a narco test( sodium thiopentol) to check whether I am really saying the truth.
What if I say that I don't want to  transition?

I don't know if you've ever said where you live, but I can't help but wonder if it some very socially backwards place? None of this sounds right.

That's not really how the drug works. The reason it's not used more often; say to know whether suspected criminals are telling the truth; is because it's not 100% accurate. Same with a lie detector test. Again I haven't heard of the NHS using this which makes me highly skeptical of its ethical use and if its effectiveness in psychiatry outweighs the harms.

I've not read all your posts, so I'm I don't know your full story, but I can't help but think you're not being treated properly. This sites mostly western English speaking, and so are the others I use. I also occasionally read sites in other European languages. Basically I do a lot of reading, and I've never heard of any of the things you are saying before.

I think you should look for another doctor.

[SadieBlake]

Nony, she's in India so I'd not say socially backward, certainly different.

Saira, you also mentioned your doc administered an mmpi which is very much intended to catch inconsistencies in your answers. Don't be afraid of sodium pent, though with my own cultural bias I'm concerned they done just want to talk to you and help work on your problems.

I still have that friend who's got a psychiatrist relative in India if you'd like a backstop opinion. PM me  and we could get that moving.

Hugs hon

I dunno what to do anymore.

[Saira128]

I don't have anyone who really understands me.

[Saira128]

My parents don't believe me. They want me to take the lie detector drug.

[Saira128]

Its better to kill myself than face this.

What are your options...can you keep them from making you take the Drug if you don't want too.?

Do you have someone you can talk to locally?

No I can't, and there's no one to talk to, just here.

Do you know what it is that will satisfy your parents? What do they want to hear from you that will stop them making you take this drug that you don't want?

Maybe,they want to hear that I am not trans.

[SadieBlake]

Saira, I'm sure they don't want you to be trans, it's not an easy road, hell, I don't want to be trans, I'd like to have been a cis female.

Hugs, here to help you as much as we're able.

[LizK]

I was afraid that was what they wanted...how will they respond if you take the drug and still say you are trans...will it stop there or will they keep going until you say you are not trans? How long before you will be in a position to be able to leave?

And what if I say I'm not trans? Then I won't be able to convince them again, ever.

Thank you...keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.

I'm so sorry you're being put in this position, Saira.  How old are you, if you don't mind my asking?  Is moving out soon a reasonable prospect for you?  Your parents sound like they're being very unreasonable.

I'm 21. Not yet earning, completely dependant.

Hijra are common in your culture, I would think that it wouldn't be so out of place. Didn't India just pass a third gender law? What province are you from?
