Nancy,
I'm sorry to hear that Fred was forced to treatment. Another side side of the story: I've had over 40 ECT treatments starting in 1977, with the last one being yesterday. I fully and knowledgeably consented to each one. I never experienced any discomfort other than the post treatment headaches on the days of the treatments. Unfortunately they have not been as effective as would have been ideal, but they have kept me alive. For some people they are miracle treatments. Perhaps my nursing background has made it easier, as I could understand fully what what happening to me. I've seen some pretty nop top medical and nursing care in the process.Chris A.
