A very strong argument against ECT. Now I feel comfortable telling you what I saw when i was in the hospital. A woman who was intent on killing herself as her twin brother had was very coherent, and not at all confused. Just suicidal with a plan. She received ECT. Went home for 2 days. Came back in the hospital while I was there and couldn't remember anything. It was really scarey. She just tidied up her room and the community area continuously. She didn't even remember who i was or the other woman who she had made friends with. I often wonder what has become of her. Some people have good results or they wouldn't still use it, but for others it doesn't evidently work. Hope you get in the DBS study. Fondly, Phillipa
