I have been having successful ECT for over 2 years now. It is nice to hear from someone else who has had it more than what I have read to be the recommended amount. My psychiatrist said that there is no real set number of treatments. Everyone is different.
I also had treatments many years ago that were not as successful as they are today, but was willing to try it again when it was recommended. It is not a treatment for everyone, but definitely worth trying in my experience.

emwell, I guess I could look it up but what are the maximum number of recommended treatments, according to what you've read? I think I've been having mine since November.
