You're both right. I had 24 treatments in 1997-and I have perm lost some memory of things that happened prior to the Treatments. And, yes the depression came back quickly for me...actually I don't think they even helped me that much. I know they're supposed to be the #1 "cure" for depression and they work well for SOME people. And I also know that I will NEVER put myself through ECT again. For me they were freaky and after you wake up you feel like you've been hit by a Truck-major Headache...not for me!!Tyler
