I have suffered from major depression for 25 years and have been on 15 different medications since 1990. I am finally going to do this. I had my appointment with a second psychiatrist for a second opinion, as was required, and he gave the go ahead. I really am not nervous. I am aware of all the risks. I believe the benefit, it if works for me, will be worth the risks. I was just wondering if other people have had ECT as a "last resort treatment" and how did it work for you and what side effects did you experience? Thanks
