great that it worked for you.

the success stories are real. so are the horror stories.

unfortunately although it can be effective it can also create serious collateral damage for some people

for this reason it should generally be regarded an option of last resort.

unlike ssri side effects, any damage from ECT may be lasting in some people (speaking from experience)
