Please people if you want to know about ECT talk to a trained health care professional. DO NOT WATCH VIDEOS AND READ THINGS ON THE INTERNET TO BASE UR OPINION. Remember anybody can put anything on the internet, talk to someone who went to university and has an actual job in the mental health or health care field. ECT does not work for everyone and different people have different reactions talk to a docter not random people on the internet.

i study nursing and we had a patient who she had deep depression and nothing could help the young women, she was like feeling as a robot, and could not have feeling over her small children. She got ECT and after 2 ect she got much much better!!! it was unbelievely.

Oh please! THIS is NOT how they do it. They put you to sleep first. WHo the fuck thinks this is REALLY not with the times.

@erikz853 You said you feel nonfunction and can't remember things. Seems like I know what it's like, maybe leave the cliche dramatic, "you don't know what it's like" out. It seems pretty obvious. You live life like you're really e-tarded, got it.

@XavierAtriedes oh one more thing to this please research where the money actually goes... its mostly health insurance and where im from if needed the hospitals actually pay for it completely so please realize your filling peoples minds with your shitty opinions not facts

[94oreoman]

@XavierAtriedes that made absolutey no sense, if you want raw facts how is this, 1 in 10,000 that get the procedure die and it is because of an anesthetic overdose, more people die from anesthetic overdoses in procedures than in faults with the operation itself and psychiatry has helped more people than it hasnt yes there are flaws but i hope you realize everything has flaws and i wouldnt consider millions of people zombies because neither you nor i know that many people in the first place

@94oreoman oh and this is 2 months after the procedure ill comment to update

@erikz853 well i got it and not only did it make my bipolar manageable i dont feel as anxious nor as depressed i have become more social i have learned to accept things from my past and move on it is easier for me to trust people i have lost weight got a job and i was not able to do that before the ECT it doesnt work the same for everyone obviously, but that doesnt mean its not for EVERYONE i did not have any side effects and im truly sorry it didnt work for you but that isnt a fair judgment

Ongoing depression is often an appropriate symptom of a deeper issue. Health professionals are usually focused on trying to eliminate the symptom, while not addressing its cause. Humans are not merely physical bodies, therefore proper treatment cannot be limited to physical solutions such as pills, ECT, or so on. For example, if a person thinks and believes lies, it can result in hopelessness which will then do them in. A person has to know and believe the truth, not just their own opinions.
