I know. I have two personal friends who went through ECT and lost long term memory ... my psychiatrist denies the possibility of that happening.

> Hey,
> I am there with you with the same dire questions. I am sick of changing meds., my Dr. has been pushing ECT for me for over a year. I have read that it is safe, usually short term memory loss, which returns, is a short term fix, must have followup treatments after initial series, usually is followed up with a new med., which they say will work better after ECT........then I have talked to people that have said that they have had complete parts of their memory wiped clean, depression is no better in the long run.........is it worth it? is it a short term fix? is it worth the possible boost to get back on track, only to possibly fall off again, always have the stereotype of having ECT......watch out for nurse Kratchett......My Psy Doc. said it was the hip thing to do now? Go figure? I thought Hip might be partying with Ziggy Marley?
