I think you might be romanticizing ECT a little bit. I believe most people, if not just about everyone, who undergoes ECT goes back on ADs. I haven't heard any stories personally of someone who is seriously ill, gets ECT, and then is med free. I could be wrong. Additionally, I'm not sure that ECT is a complete panacea - it is not always effective.
