I had both unilateral and bilateral ect. I feel that it caused more problems than it helped. My memory did not come back,I still get aganizing headaches and would rather be depressed than go thru that hell again. My memory and concentration were not the same after and I was in a very deep depression, my regular Pchyc dr. had me stop it and thru his help and other meds I got better. Think twice before having it done and also the depression comes back.It is covered by insurance.I feel I lost more than I gained from it. Some people swear by it, but I would try all other options first and make sure if you do that the person doing it knows what they are doing after all it is your brain.
