My personal belief on the use of ECT, is that it should be the LAST resort. I still believe a good pdoc who knows his psychopharmaceuticals is a much better route to go. Also if a pdoc has only reccomended ECT, I would definately get a 2nd, 3rd, etc. opinion. I have a 2nd cousin who over 35 years has never been right after her treatments and now seems like a borderline fried veggie. Sorry, just my crusty old 2 cents.
Take care,
DE
