Hi, I know this post wasnt directed to me but I just tried 12 x ECT this Dec + Jan. I have unipolar dep.
It worked fairly well after 3-4 sessions so it is fine if you are suicidal and need a quick solution.
But I have forgotten almost everything from the period just before and during the ECT sessions. This is not necessaryly a bad thing but still it is kind of scary.Soon after the last session I had a couple of bad periods which was surprising as I was told the effect would last months, so there would be lots of time for the meds to begin working (I was already on meds when the dep episode came)
