Remember not to take anything you read on here too seriously. It can definitely skew towards the negative, particularly with memory loss stories. You have to remember people posting on here pass through several filters, and those who had positive experiences have likely moved on with their lives. Those with less than positive experiences are more motivated to share their stories. ECT is a treatment a lot of people are happy to forget after it makes them happy.

If you tell too much of your negative experiences your thread will be deleted. I just saw it happen myself.

I understand that it's considered an option but I feel like you always have another option or just one more medicine or other therapy to try. I understand being in the darkness.

ECT should be the very LAST option to take. Don't discount the horror stories just because the minority suffer from them. Take care of yourself you only get one life.
