This is what I hate about the state of healthcare in this country (the cost of treatment, the inconvenience of treatment, etc.). Things like ECT would likely be more widespread (and thus convenient) if more people could afford it because there would be a greater demand. That said, I don't blame you for becoming frustrated with ECT etc.. It's BS the way this country operates sometimes. I understand that doctors need to make a living, but at the same time, these forms of treatment create a huge financial burden on people who need them the most. I mean, how do we expect people who are on disability or low income to afford such treatment? It's @ss backwards.

As far as therapy goes -- Well, that's up to you. But if you were to quit ECT, I would recommend for you to stick with your therapist for a while. You may not be getting much out of your therapy sessions now, but if you get a resurgence of symptoms because you're not doing ECT anymore, you may want her assistance, if that makes sense.

Another thing -- have you come up with therapy goals? Sometimes we need goals in therapy in order to make progress with things going on in our lives. They give us direction and motivation. I'm not saying you need to continue therapy. I'm just saying that sometimes we hit a roadblock because we don't have any goals. But it's possible you've learned everything you can learn from therapy and thus don't need it anymore. In that case, I'd say I completely understand why you're thinking about quitting therapy. Definitely don't spend money on something you're not benefitting from.
