Danielle - I have mostly heard good things about ECT. Most of the horror stories happened years ago. ECT is a little out of my league, but I believe the treatments are about 6 weeks apart. Someone else on this board should be more precise. While any treatment (medication, psychotherapy, surgery or ECT) all can have side effects and/or complications, I have been led to believe that they are minimal (not usually any long term problems) with ECT. •Again, I am no where near an expert in this field, so take this just as heresay on my part.• I guess I am for ECT if someone is not responding to regular treatments and especially if they are suicidal.
