Hi Ixie!
>The current is high enough to damage your heart permanently but electrodes stick to ones head. This makes a huge difference.
But the brain is a very fragile organ. I would be very frightened to have ECT.

A few people die during/after ECT. Heart attack, stroke etc occur occasionally.
Yours,
