I'm sorry that you feel scared, and I apologize if my comments increased your fear. In my defense, I did offer positive thoughts about the procedure itself, which is not painful or uncomfortable at all, but because of my experience with ECT I don't feel comfortable giving only half the story. Unfortunately, the potential negative effects aren't always made clear prior to the treatments, as they weren't to me.

Since you are aware of the risks, the issues I mentioned wouldn't be a problem for you and shouldn't cause you any fear. Good luck to you. I hope you get a very good result!
