I have now had two ECT treatments and I'm much better. I don't have the intense urge to buy things, the physical sensations - jittery, tense - are just about gone. The only thing that is still fully around is irritability. I spent the weekend in a crisis center because I couldn't control my spending. I was disappointed. It used to be supported by the county mental health and now it is privately owned and medicare and supplemental policies don't cover it. I have to pay the full price - $600 a night. They do make payment arrangements. I don't know that I'd go there again but it was probably the right call this time.
