Hi Alchemy,
It never ceases to amaze me how some people respond so well to ECT and others feel that it was the worse thing they ever did.
Can I ask you some questions about your experience of ECT and your diagnosis at the time?
What kind of illness were you suffering from prior to having ECT, unipolar depression, bipolar depression, Schitzophrenia?
What symptoms were you experiencing, were you catatonic? Did you have any anxiety? Were you still able to function?
What was your cognition like prior to having ECT, were you still able to express yourself articulately?
What kind of ECT did you have, unilateral or bilateral?
How many treatments of ECT did you have before responding to it?
What meds had you tried prior to having ECT and what meds were you on after it?
Hope you don't mind my asking.Regards.....Denise
