In reply to ECT for Schizophrenia -Voices, posted by Danielj on December 3, 2016, at 10:35:27
hi. my diagnosis is Bipolar I, but I was given shock during a bout of heavy, untreated psychosis. I've been given a diagnosis of Schizophrenia by previous doctors, so I guess my "real" diagnosis is in the eye of the beholder.
ECT was horrible for me. Its been almost 9 years, and I've just now largely recovered. A lot of my life is permanently and forever wiped away. I still require fairly standard medications (an antipsychotic, 2 mood stabilizers, wellbutrin), and I think my depression, when it hits, is worse than it was before the shock.
