I did both unilateral and bilateral ECT. Neither helped one iota. Both were incredibly stressful experiences, completely unpleasant, waking up sick and confused and staying that way for hours. With bilateral, I lost my memory of lots of small but important things. It came back after a couple of months, but the things that happened while I was undergoing the ECT (over three weeks), I have no memory of at all.
Kitty is a former neighbor of mine and I know she really believes in ECT and benefits from it. But I would try every pill under the sun before I would try ECT.
