For Cam- ECT

Posted by Danielle on May 10, 2000, at 23:37:34

Cam, my DH was admitted to the hospital last night, suicidal inclinations. They have added to the Celexa and Klonopin, Buspar. His pdoc has suggested ECT as a possible treatment option. I was unable to determine from your post on ECT your opinion of the procedure. Do you feel it is a viable option for a young man in his 30's? I am aware that there are usually 6-12 initial treatments, what is the time frame for the initials? How often are subsequent treatments required? And finally are the side effects as detrimental as I keep reading? Or are the patients that have been successfully treated too busy getting on with their lives to participate in discussions on this issue.
Thanks, Danielle
