most of the people who hate ECT or find it barbaric simply dont know what it feels like to be severely depressed. Many people who crusade against it haven't even suffered with depression but instead had ECT done to them during old days for various other reasons. Others haven't even had ECT but critisize it for the over exagerated 'horror' stories on the net. Of course for anything other than mental suffering ECT is wrong and will get someone upset if they have it done to them. Many of these people are happy, live normal lives, they dont know what it feels like to be severely depressed, they could never so much as imagine. depression can trully be the most horrific decease possible. Sometimes I feel I wish they'd let me have it. No one besides those who have depression can know what it feels like. i wish people who dont suffer from severe deppresion would stop critisizing it. for some of us it can mean the difference between life and death. more precisely, death or happiness.
