I wholehartdly agree. I had it done this fall after going through the cycle of antid. meds., combos etc. with no change, except getting sick each time. My ECT left me more depressed, more anxious, and definately a few large notches down on the cognitive brain chain......It surprises me when I tell any health care professionals that and they just stare at me....they just hate to voice a negative opinion it seems like to any medical practice.....only people that have had it done seem to understand the terrible changes it leaves you with.........I wish I would of listened to the people that warned me about it......I am 4 months since my last treatment and they did both sides.....and I see no improvement in concentration, memory, writing things like this.........focus...all shot....memories of 2006 are gone......it like my hard drive was wiped clean.......good luck to all
