I know ECT is a life changer for a lot of people; I've seen it happen. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. The first time was almost 25 years ago. I had 16 treatments. They used the bilateral method that time. The 2nd time was about 15 years ago. I think i had 12 treatments that time. They used the unilateral method that time. I had less memory loss with the second round. There have probably been changes since I had it.
About the successes: The one that sticks out in my memory was of a young woman who was pretty much housebound for over a year due to depression and anxiety. The change in her was amazing.
Have you spoken with your pdoc about this?
