In reply to ECT - who is it good for?, posted by Enigma on August 16, 2005, at 11:33:18

Here's some conventional info. about ECT. If you want more, including the negatives, google something like "ECT therapy".

http://www.psych.org/research/apire/training_fund/clin_res/

I had it, and a few other people on this board have had it. It's usually done for treatment resistant depression, if a person has a condition that disallows the use of drugs (e.g. pregnancy), or is so severely depressed that they need a treatment that works quickly. It didn't help me, but I thought it was worth a try. I've had some memory loss as a result.

Hope this helps. Any more questions?

I.
