In reply to ECT...I am scared to death, posted by john51 on June 28, 2008, at 6:12:06
I am PRO ECT, but of course individuals vary. Like I've mentioned on previous posts, after only 5-6, I felt better than I ever had in my life. The higher mood didn't last, but I was out of my deep hole that I had gotten into after a bad med trial (adderall & abilify).
I made the decision after talking to a few people who also had very positive experiences from it. I believe the 80% scientific studies are correct.
I did have some memory loss, but it wasn't debilitating and it was worth it. Definitely no brain damage.
