<<Medications may be bad, but ECT is a crime.>>
I endured 6 ECT sessions in February this year (over a 2 week period, so pretty intense). I would never attempt to change another person's mind if they so wished to have ECT but do not mind admitting that given the option I would never willingly have ECT. (I was not all that willing in February!) There is absolutely no evidence that ECT helped me, reduced my depression or did anything positive for me for that matter. It would be fruitless to regret it now, for it is done, but I am relieved that I need not endure ECT again.
<<Sure, I've been f*d over by medications>>
I kind of have to agree with this statement. Again - I support others who benefit from medications. It is just that medication does not support me!!
