If you care to share, it will be very helpful to me. I will be ongoing this surgical procedure within a week to 10 days? Any thoughts or comments for me, would be extremely helpful for me!
I had the procedure twice. Please research it before doing it,it's an individual choice. I really believe I wouldn't be here without it. I had some short term and long term memory loss the first time but it was worth it. The second time no memory loss. I think it depends on which kind of ECT is being done.
