Has anyone had ECT Treatments? I had a round of 6 last month. I felt better for a week, now I am back in a depressive state.

Are you scheduled for maintenance treatments? They may be needed.

I had seven ECT treatments about eight years back. I, too, felt better after them, but my depression started to return after I rejected the maintenance treatments. They may be worth considering. Or what is the status of your medication (s)? Did you go back on the same one(s) you were on before the ECT? I found that I needed an overhaul.

I started with an intensive series of nine, I think, back in 2015. After that it was clear that I was going to need maintenance treatments or I would slide into depression again. So I was put on a schedule which had me gradually expanding the interval between treatments. Eventually I got to every four weeks and here I have stayed because any longer and I fall into depression before making it to my next session.

I had treatments three times a week for a few weeks, two times a week for a few weeks, one time a week for a few weeks and then every other week. My treatments started the first part of March and went through the middle of July. They really helped me a lot. I was suicidal. Couldn't function. I would take them again if I needed to.
