Be careful thinking ECT will allow you to feel normal. I lost 26 IQ points, can't find my way places anymore, have word fluency and word retrieval problems, slowed processing of information, poor concentration and attention, and short term memory deficits to name a few.
I feel like Hemingway did before he committed suicide after undergoing ECT at Mayo. He said some famous quote about how the cure made it impossible for him to write again and so no career. He wasn't so depressed, but he could no longer write. He felt his life had been destroyed, and so he just could not go on.
As they say, be careful what you wish for.
