Been there done that...never again! Death would be welcome over having the memory loss and confusion, not to mention the suicidal thinking that was not touched by it. They will eventually say that ECT is a barbaric and ineffective treatment for depression...it just screws you up so that you forget you are depressed. Studies are not accurate. I worked in an ECT dept and saw the effects of it first hand....poor outcomes but those that have it done are led to believe there is nothing other than ECT that can be done so they acquiesce and do it. That is what happened to me.
Thanks for trying to help me though.
