As many people are very wary of this
treatment, and perhaps you too may have
considered it as a last resort, i think
you should be congratulated for courage.
I hope you do recover from your depression
indefinitely.I would like to know where the ECT was performed
though of course that may be confidential.
I really was under the impression that it
was being phased out of most large hospitals,
after reading the "partisan" groups such as
David Oaks' Support Coalition International.Frankly, the argument that "we do not know how
it works" does not carry much weight against
a treatment, as lithium also gets the same
analysis from psychopharmacologists, as well
as Remeron for that matter. So, ECT should
not be surprising - if it works FOR YOU that is what
is important.good wishes for a continued recovery,
