Great post, Kebs. I was going to say that in my post, but I just didn't feel like going into it, lol-- That people attribute certain symptoms to the long-term effects of ECT.... but you are exactly right when you say that such symtpoms are most likely a combination of a lot of factors. That is not to say that ECT can't be responsible at all, but I don't think it is a sole contributor. ECT is also very beneficial when suicide is an imminent danger because ECT works quicker than antidepressants.
