It was never my intention to impy that everyone has negative results from ECT. I am told on a daily basis about how much all the meds and treatments I have miserably failed are actually helping other people. The "one way road to suicide" comment was in reference to someone who has already failed numerous med trials, as well as ECT treatments. I didn't mean it as a suggestion for anyone who trys ECT at all.
