No, not all docs. Namely, there were representatives of patients against it, representing people who had memory loss, who felt violated because they did not want ECT but were forced into it - they were too sick and family members were giving the OK for example. I saw just the end of the program, perhaps 5 minutes, hence the lack of more precise info. I hope they air it again, it was interesting. I mostly heard the pdoc saying he would choose ECT for himslef, before anything else, because that's what works best in his opinion. Heck, I thought, **** the Effexor, I want ECT, if that's true! But I'm scared of it, like most people.

> Was the panel all doctors? I haven't heard of too many doctors against ECT. It is accepted as a necessary treatment in some cases.
