In reply to Has anyone had ECT and not relapsed?, posted by dave1 on May 28, 2003, at 20:24:16
I think this is a question for a doctor. Most people who are in remission do not post here, with notable exceptions of course. I found that when my depression remitted for about two years, due to a standard ssri therapy, I completely stopped posting on several boards where I had been posting. Just didn't need the reminder of bad times.
I saw a whole special on PBS about this guy who was in the NY philharmonic who had ECT and had a complete remission. Later, he relapsed but had a few more treatments and then back to "normal."
You might want to contact this guy:
