Should you trust what "experts" say.
I certainly dont and thats my opinion about it. I have never met anyone who said "thank god i did ECT".
Which is an outcome you would want i suppose.
I only believe what i see. And i saw 10 out of 10 people who had rather not done it.
The results ranged from "i forget where i put my keys all the time" to "i am disoriented in my own hometown". Some temporarily, some permanent. None of them where "healed" by any stretch.
Placebo effect is pretty big i think. I have caught myself being well on a med that i thought was doing anything. But it didnt. It could have been a sugar pill.
Trust in the mental health industry rarely pays off. I can only think of Ace here on this board and he is an exotic.
