I was given ECT many years ago when I was hospitalized. I was so messed up from other drugs they gave me like Thorazine. I wasn't afraid because I knew I would be put under. They did tell me though that I could break a bone during the seizure. Luckily it went ok and I remember jumping off the table. It seemed to help, but only temporarily. I've lived my whole life in a state of depression. I'm a " lot" older now and sometimes I'm tempted to try it again . I would do it as a last resort. It sucks to be depressed every day and just waiting for the forever anesthesia. Then again , it may have saved my life without me even knowing it.
That's how I feel about all these meds that don't help. Sorry for rambling.
In short , if you have a Dr. that you trust , I would try it , if nothing else is working.
Pease to alll...
