Hi there,

there is a another post similar about ECT in the depression section.. try seaching for it as I can't remember what it was titled.

I only have a small amount of knowledge in regards to ECT and only because my step dad was a psych nurse for 30 odd years and used be the one that did the ECT to chorinc patients. I know that he fully believes in it and that it works wonders - seeing chronic patients who had been in his locked ward for many years have ECT and be able to become out patients. The way he explained it to me when I asked many many years ago is that it is like re-booting a computer.. it re-boots you mind.
