I still wonder what happened to the lady who had ECT when i was in the hospital. She was organized and acting normal. She was intent on suicide so that's why she received it. A few days after she went home she returned to the hospital and couldn't remember a thing. And she was in la la land. Not trying to scare you. I also remember as a new RN in orientation a young girl had ECT. Before the tx they said she wouldn't bathe, get out of bed, etc. After one tx she was great. Grooming herself, talking to everyone, etc. The experienced staff all wondered if she had been faking her depression. my only exposure to it. Fondly, Phillipa
