Hi apSmith and to PC!
I can relate. I did a round of ECT yrs back for trMD and although DR/DP was already something i have had bouts of my whole life..the ECT did cause more as a side effect. ECT can be a life saving treatment for those of us who's depression is not helped by meds..but like everything else, it has side effects and what and to what degree is just as indiviual as meds. Most ppl report that the side effects are temporary, but again like everything else no guarrentee... so really it up to you and ur Dr, to discuss, weight, and decide if the benifits outweigh the side effects. Hope it resolves its self soon and glad you found ur way here! Hope you find much comfort, suppirt and understanding in this wonderful community! Be Well and Keep Writing!
