I think its really shocking how can they do that to people

[AVelvetRevolution]

I was so chronically depressed I was suicidal. None of the anti-depressants medications helped and I have tried many. I had ECT and I woke up from it and my first thought was "I have a headache" and my second thought was "It doesn't suck to be alive." I do experience memory issues, but so many negative and traumatic things have happened to me during the course of my lifetime that it is best to forget them. It is frustrating to not remember some things but it is better than being dead, right?

I think if it works, it works. I don't like seeing so many comments saying things like "how could ETC work? its probably worse for your brain." From people who are not doctors, and have no schema on the anatomy of the human brain.

@kirkbypaul12345 Not at all, if one gives concent, its their own choice, I know people didn't ask for it to be done in the past, was pretty much forced upon them,59% of people, but it's getting a little more populer, with less side effects. It's used to help people, the goverment would not allow it if it was that dangerous. I think 6% have died during it, seeing as it was praticed between 1996 - 99. So it will improve anyway. It's a good thing.
