Bob,
My younger sister has a major depressive episode in which she almost died as a result. ECT brought her back to life and she leads a totally normal life now and olny does meds. She has has some memory problems, but they are more things we laugh about rather than concerns
> What is the current school of thought on ECT these days? Is it still generally a last resort treatment? I have read a few things lately saying that it has gotten a bad rap in the past, and that it is often a quite effective treatment - only that it requires maintenance. Of course, there's always the memory problems.
