In reply to ECT whie working, posted by jaby on December 9, 2004, at 10:08:16
I haven't personally done ECT while working, but a relative of mine has, and it went well. She did all of her sessions discretely (NONE of her colleagues caught on) and successfully. Anyway, it lifted her out of a terrible depression that just hadn't been responding to meds and lifestyle changes. After a few months, she was finished and has remained depreession-free for the past 4 years. Her maintenance meds are minimal; a TCA and Valium, I think...best of all, clearing her depression gave her back her ambition and self-esteem, so she's excelled in her field. Just thought I'd share. Good luck!
