Hi Jen

recovering from ptsd is not hopeless. there are lots of different things you can try....like EMDR, CBT etc.

i have personally never had ECT but....that was the number one rule of thought when i was growing up in the Highlands and...i seen a lot of damamged peeps from it and...guess what? ...first time it was suggested to me?...well, let's just say i live SOUTH of the border now lol.

hope you find lots of alternative info here ok?

Good Luck and Welcome to pc.
