My psychiatrist kept reminding me that she does ECT. I am suffering from severe depression, but would hate to have it done. I told her that I didn't think I would be needing that. Does your girlfriend actually want it? It sounds like a horrible procedure. Although I know about med side effects - I think I've suffered them all...

My girlfriend really wanted the procedure done because she is tired of suffering from the side effects of the medications she needs to take daily. And, might I add, the medications help as much as they should. She has been instructed by her psychiatrist in Ohio to slowly begin weaning herself off of her meds. She has been off of them for a couple weeks now and is doing much better.
