I'd love it to be true. It gives me hope.
P.S. I just did a google search for "ECT success rate." The first page had websites reporting 70 - 83%. Seems the odds are in my favor. Fingers crossed here.

When I did it, an expert psychiatrist said it's about 98% effective for treatment resistant depression. Unfortunately, it didn't help me, but hurt my short term memory. I hope you find success with it!
