I had 11 or 12 treatments and unfortunately there was no improvement in my depression. The treatment itself was not that bad - I did have some memory loss during that time, I got headaches from the treatment and they made me very tired.
I did a lot of research about ECT and my doctor and I both felt that it was the best course of treatment at the time - I don't regret trying it but of course, I wish it had helped. I never would have tried it if I didn't believe that ECT does indeed help some people.
Good luck to you.
