Good day everyone: I was curious as to whether anyone here has had ECT treatments done to them, and if they have, what side effects were noticeable. Right now I'm pushing my pdoc to consider ECT treatments, but he is against it as I maintain extremely high grades and he does not want to mess with my brainwaves. I was curious as to how valid this concern is, in other words, how dangerous are ECT treatments really. I know there is alot of stigma from the 60s and 70s regarding ECT, but from what I've read online, it is a safe process. Any response would be appreciated.
