> the medication bin i'm in is not working, but before i think about shock, it has to be approved by a doctor, and the only reason i would do it is to get me in better work to get into a university, or increase ability....i've posted at varius websites, i don't care i want the shock, and the doctors will not do it, they say its not needed. I'm already starting to move forward finally but i wanat to get the shock, i know it would benefit...

Shock treatment can leave you with dilapidated memory...even erasing parts of your memory, sometimes permanently. I am not trying to sound like a scientologist, but these are proven side effects. No, not everyone gets this, but I personally think it is too big of a risk. Just make sure you do your homework before going this route.
