"Personally, I'm afraid of ECT."

They do use a general anesthesia, which may be the riskiest part of the procedure.
ECT has been significantly refined. Patients don't even move during their induced seizure.
It isn't necessary to become desperate before trying ECT, but if you ever find yourself desperate,
keep it as an option. ECT aborted another episode of major depression for me. It ended
chronic anxiety attacks and other symptoms of depression. It was brief, painless, and while your mileage may very, it was one
of the best decisions I ever made and I have zero regrets.
