You ultimately know in your bones what is the right thing to do. I highly respect that.
One thing about ECT is that for people who do well on it, they don't hang out at psychobabble. So you only hear from the cases like mine that went bad.
You have done a lot of research into the specifics of exactly what kind of ECT you want, and I wish my doctors would have given me options to choose from. But the doctor in charge of ECT where I live only gives one kind of treatment to everybody, take it or leave it. That is bi-foreheadal. Which is supposed to be the newest greatest thing with minimal amnesia risk. Yeah right.
You have choices and you can feel confident in your planning and research. Keep in mind there are successful cases out there.
I will not hound you about ECt anymore. If it ever sounded like I was, I didn't mean to.
