Individual experiences with ECT vary widely. Although I know that it works well for some people and can be free of side effects, such that it is deemed by many to be a miracle, I am reluctant to subject myself to another course of treatments. I guess I'm a little scared of them.

It is difficult to ignore the horror stories regarding memory loss and cognitive deficits as the result of ECT. It should be noted, though, that there are people whom have had over 100 treatments and whom seem none the worse for it.

I don't regard the necessity of taking maintenance treatments to be a monumental failure of the modality. It is what it is. It is an inconvenience. So is dialysis.
