> I had 6 treatments about 7-8 years ago and to this day I still have problems with comprehension and conceptualization. It's a horrifying thing to be aware that these things have been erased. I never had panic attacks until after the ECT treatments too. I wish they knew what they were doing to some people.

I was talked into having the first course. When that didn't help, I was forced to have the second lot of treatment (physically restrained whilst it was administered). This is bound to traumatise someone who also suffers from PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks. I now have no faith in the medical community.
