My father underwent ECT a year ago for severe PTSD in a VA hospital and I feel terrible about it. He was desperate to get my mother to come back to him so he went through with it. I would have been there, but he told me that he hated me earlier that day, so I didn't go see him. I felt awful, even though he was so mean and scary, I should have been there. What a nightmare! Even though adults are consenting, it is abuse because it robs you of memories, good and bad. No way I'd let my child go through that
