I'm glad to hear that you have had such a positive experience. :) It makes me feel at peace about the losses I have sustained because I believe the doctors did what looked best. It is additionally nice to hear a good experience because that reassures me that my problems with side effects can really pale in the face of the elevation in mental wellbeing. It is comforting to know there are some that have had the same experience but I would really hate to think about how I would feel about everything if it were common for the side effects to be as severe I experienced. I'd love to hear other people's accounts of ECT aswell... I haven't ever met anyone (that I know of) who has had the treatment.
What types of techniques does your doctor reccommended to help you with memory retention? How much would you say such techniques help?
