> > Good luck to anyone persuing ECT. i think it's barbaric because of what it did to my memory and mind -not because of how it was portrayed in the movies. Yeah, you're asleep through the whole thing - but afterwards - for me -wasn't good. I lost more memory than the doctor's said I would. I couldn't read music anymore -just little things like that. then, they placed the blame on the depression - not the ECT. Still today, when I attempt to share my own experiences ,people throw research studies and articles at me trying to downplay the horrible truths I lived through. ECT may help some -but it destroyed me.

I had 6 treatments about 7-8 years ago and to this day I still have problems with comprehension and conceptualization. It's a horrifying thing to be aware that these things have been erased. I never had panic attacks until after the ECT treatments too. I wish they knew what they were doing to some people.
