A relative of mine received ECT - as she got older she became more and more catatonic and then suffered from a brain tumor.
My family is convinced these are only some of the long term side effects of ECT.
Research Research Research...
University of Chicago Hospitals would be one of the few places I would recommend to at least discuss the possiblity. Meet with a doc there who believes it will help - then try and meet with one that has a different opinion.
My recommendation is keep researching.
Try different meds.
Have you tried Depakote?
