I find this a difficult topic. Maybe it is justified for the most severe cases.

oh ect on children I don't feel that's right. Maybe over 18 when the brain has had a chance to develop.
I got ECT for my schizophrenic melancholia and it did work . I was scared sh%%less on the first round but you are under anaesthetic and don't feel a thing. The doctor came to speak to me and I said "i haven't had it yet" lol my first time my memory was skew whiff. But after that after each one I improved and unlike most people never slept whole day afterwards. I am a freak of nature though people. |

Good Lord I would never do that to a growing brain. How barbaric.

It sounds like a bad idea, though apparently it did work in this case. Overall though, as a self diagnosed aspie, I find the idea of ECT for autism rather disturbing to put it mildly.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
