Yeah, no kidding. I had good insurance at the time and they covered most of it. I did get a detailed bill for all the itemized charges and how much the insurance company paid. The bottom line for 12 treatments...$22,000.

I'e already commented on my nightmares of vanished memory. Just wanted to emphasize ECT has zero effectiveness after the treatments are over. According to my diary I was improving during treatments. An author wants to quote me saying how ECT made prozac work better. At the end I had 2 days of a new born life free of depression. I remember one of those days. The other is just in my diary. Two days later I was carried off to the emergency room in an ambulance for talking about suicide. My depression was worse than before ECT.
