I am so sorry that you feel the ECT is not working. To be quite honest it took at least 13 before I saw any improvement. I take it for depression with suicidal ideation and actions. It finally felt like it had worked when 6 months later the suicidal ideation came back full on. I went through another course of ECT and now get it every 2 weeks for the past 3 years. I can handle the suicidal thoughts without feeling like I have to act on them. A big improvement from years past. Bottom line ....give ECT a chance and keep on keeping on.....
