> If you want detailed accounts of what it's like to undergo ECT, read Shock by Kitty Dukakis and Undercurrents by Martha Manning. Dukakis had a very positive experience with ECT ten years ago, and continues to get a maintenance treatment of ECT about once a month. Manning suffered some short-term memory loss, but ECT lifted her out of a severe, suicidal depression. But there are plenty of horror stories out there too.
Thanks Hugh
Its good to hear a balanced opinionSounds like ECT is a Huge Gamble really
Other problem of course is that they are probably not using very up-to-date techniques seeing as its the the UK
I would use it as a last resort & I suppose that's what its there for
