ECT sucks bigtime. Sure there are some miracle stories out there. Not mine. Nor another person on my church choir who had it done. Memory loss for me was more than I can describe. Still to this day, one year later, my short term and longterm memory are significantly affected. An entire 3 month period of my life is gone. Total memory loss of anything in that period. And a lot of loss in the year leading up to it. Strange how I can remember sporadic weird things here and there. ECT memory loss damage to me seems very selective with no identifiable pattern.
Anyway, you want fast? ECT is not fast. You're talking 12 to 20 treatments, which is 4 to 6 weeks, IFFF it works. For me it didn't. If you look at statistics closely you will see it doesn't work much better than anything else. Not sure why it gets all the hype. I think pdocs just run out of ideas and figure brain electrocution experimenting might do some good. Instead, they should be looking deep for heavy metal toxicity and other things. But they aren't trained that way, nor on treating adrenal issues, nor on treating thyroid issues when numbers look normal but symptoms do not, nor hidden delayed food reactions, nor a bunch of other stuff. Instead, hook up the electricity and shock the brain. From my own personal experience, NOT a good idea if you have a brain full of metals like lead and mercury.
I wish I knew your history. Maybe I could suggest something. For now, I do not suggest ECT. Just my opinion. Others will differ.
