It is often called the treatment of last resort, but I believe that may be due to misconceptions about it. I wish I had been talked into it years ago. It has helped me tremendously.

I am currently considering ECT. What were your side effects? What I am finding online is all contradicting information. And my Psychiatrist doesn't do it so she isn't as educated on the subject as she used to be 20 years ago. I would have to drive 7 hours to get it done and stay there for a few weeks, so I would like all the information I can get. Any you have would be appreciated!!
Thanks!
