Asian girl,
ECT worked wonders for me. I had treatment resistant depression for about 30 years. After 9 ECT treatments I have not been depressed for 2 whole years.
I did have severe side effects from ECT. I lost memory of that time period and I could not form new memories for about 1/2 year. That being said, I was already having memory troubles from chronic depression. Now, I feel I have recovered my full intellect with the addition of Strattera to my med cocktail. Of course, one must take meds after ECT, but I find they work now when previously they did not.
Keep posting,
Mimi
