Although I've been extremely fearful of ECT in the past, I'm seriously considering it if the next few meds fail. (I'm on Zoloft and it's fantastic for anxiety and obsessive symptoms,but useless for drive and energy.)
Although it scares the crap out of me that very little is known about how ECT really works, I figure any long term effects at this point can't be worse than severe depression for the rest of my life.
I wish I can find more balanced info about it though. I seems like everything I've read is from the hardcore anti psychiatry crowd or the pro "ECT is a universal panacea". (Definitely more former than latter though.)
