So depression understood in this context is not due to lack of brain activity, but too much activity and neural networks that are hotwired together that aren't suppose to be cause the depression. So ECT works as mini seizures to the brain.

An illustration: My computer is on, many web pages are open, I have a media player open, windows explorer is open and my computer is now starting to lag. Where CBT might teach the computer user to shut off prgrams one by one, ECT just shuts them all off and the computer and restarts the computer with a fresh boot.

Short term memory issues happen in proximity of your treatment but usually lefts. Long term memories may disappear. Confusion often happens. Nausea. It takes 6-12 treatments until one's depression lifts.

I question whether it would work for me because I'm just not having activity at all, but maybe my serotonin receptor that SSRI's hack could use a restart. I would try it if I had the money, but I wont any time soon, and when I do I wont be able to get insurance, since Obamacare is only open to enroll for a few months, which is sickening.
