Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ECT is an effective treatment for many with severe depression but as you said it is often used as a last resort. I think many people are scared of ECT due to it's portrayal in the media. It is not as scarey and painful as it has been in the past but it does have risks. I encourage anyone who is interested in ECT to be fully informed before considering it.
Has anyone else had ECT?
I just want to say that I have. For a number of years my Depression was debilitating. I could not function at all. ECT was NOT scary and I credit with giving my life back. It was performed as a last resort (2 years of medication and unsuccessful therapy). Although my mental health symptoms are more about Anxiety, I do to a lesser extent occasionally still suffer from short periods of Depression. It just doesn't take over my life anymore. I credit the ECT with my ability to function - to stop the self-isolation and take care of myself again (get out of bed, clean my home, do groceries, get together with family, and other basics of day to day life).
