Hi,
That really annoys me. To say that "ECT should be banned" is really selfish when it has and does offer some people a renewed chance of happiness. Would you want to deny them that, knowing what you know about depression?
I have read of quite a few stories where ECT seems to have literally saved some people lives. When I read those stories I want it myself.
I can understand the bitterness though, I would feel bitter too if It had been sold to me as something that was guaranteed to work and to work for a long time but no psychiatrist has ever tried to persuade me to have ECT, I wish they would as I am sick of hearing negative things about it.
I don't think ECT should be banned but I just wish that they had a way of predicting who would and who wouldn't respond but as always, if you are pretty resistant to the standard meds then there are no ways of predicting what will help.
Denise
