Hi.
Thanks for your reply.
> not sure your motivation for this thread? curious about that...
No one has ever devoted a thread to this subject. I meant it to be for everyone's benefit, not just my own. I often hear people speak of others having horror stories to tell, but I would rather not rely on such hearsay. I have heard horror stories too, but not told by anyone I know personally. I would like to get a better idea as to how often horror stories result from ECT.
I had bilateral ECT. By the end of treatments, I felt very weird, although my depression remained unimproved. I experienced cognitive and memory impairments that lasted for about a month, and thereafter dissipated. I do not consider myself to be a horror story.
