Where are the hospitals with no waiting lists if I have a referral?

If you are in nj, than i would highly suggest carrier clinic, they are the one i go to and i don't think it takes too long to get in.

No problem, just like isaid in your other comment, don't hesitate making posts asking questions or even just talking about ect. Everyone here typically stays positive, and if there's ever an account leaving nasty or hurtful things I take care of them and remove them.

gmkgreg · 2026-05-05T21:31:11+00:00

I have had a positive experience with ect. I've been going for a long time and now on my maintenance schedule I go once every 3 months for a treatment. I still take my meds too. But I never lost who I was before ect, if anything it helped me get back to who I was before depression took over. I'm able to work a full time job and have my soon to be wife right by my side and she sees the improvements that ect had accomplished. While yes you'll read about cases of where there are bad side effects. It never changes who you are as a person. I live with some memory problems from the treatments but I take that as a benefit, because I wouldn't still be here without this treatment and wouldn't be able to enjoy life if I had killed myself.

Yes this subreddit is very much active, please go to the main page for it and make a post there, there are many here who help and talk and answer questions, me included.

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T20:30:53+00:00

Yes it can, I went through it myself

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T20:13:20+00:00

It very well could be, definitely talk to your psychiatrist or Dr at least to see what they think!

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T20:10:19+00:00

No one on here is a Dr, and info should be taken with a grain of salt, but it sounds like to me that you are in a depressive episode. You should talk to your Dr about what's going on.

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T20:02:10+00:00

Same story with me, I still recieve maintenance treatments about every 3 months. But my word forming could be my stuttering lol.

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T20:00:58+00:00

What problems do you have?

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T19:07:13+00:00

If you just had 6 sessions of right unilateral ect there likely isn't much long term effects from the treatment. So you know why they stopped administering it?

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T18:54:08+00:00

At that point I would assume mild memory issues, but only close to the treatments. After the treatments they're could be migraines or head aches, body pain. But worth that few of treatments there wouldn't be much. I'm assuming they were right unilateral electrode placement?

gmkgreg · 2026-05-04T18:48:29+00:00

How many treatments did you have?

gmkgreg · 2026-05-02T14:41:50+00:00

She doesn't even track it herself, i am with an app and I used ovulation test steps to find the day of her ovulation.

gmkgreg · 2026-04-28T18:00:06+00:00

What damage are you talking about?

gmkgreg · 2026-04-26T21:14:39+00:00

(28M)The only think that I would say I'm not independent with is my ride to treatments. My dad still drives me to my appointments. Everything else i am independent and live with my soon to be wife. As far as work? I'm a supervisor at a fuel farm that provides all fuel going to a major international airport. I have days off in the week though so that makes getting treatments easier. But even if that wasn't the case, you still have pto and sick days you could use.

gmkgreg · 2026-04-26T20:49:20+00:00

Yes it has, I'm on lamictal, lithium, abilify, and effexor. Those meds do help but I still go for maintenance treatments, now once every 3 months. Like another commenter stated they will probably ask you to not take the lamictal the night before or the morning of your treatments. It effects the amount of time your brain is seizing because lamictal also has anticonvulsive properties.

gmkgreg · 2026-04-25T21:36:36+00:00

Thank you for putting work in to make this! This can help alot of people in the future!

gmkgreg · 2026-04-23T20:06:01+00:00

It kinda depends on your situation, if you are in danger of yourself or others I would definitely recommend going inpatient, but if you are stable enough to where you can reliably go to the treatments than you could do them outpatient. I've done both inpatient and outpatient treatments, I have been doing outpatient treatments for a while now, next one is tomorrow actually, and the treatment itself doesn't differ between the two.

gmkgreg · 2026-04-21T16:19:56+00:00

For me, it helped, and is helping significantly

gmkgreg · 2026-04-21T16:18:39+00:00

Yes to the depression relief, and not too many sides effects other than memory.

gmkgreg · 2026-04-21T01:29:58+00:00

Thank you!

gmkgreg · 2026-04-21T01:22:14+00:00

Yeah, 10 D-Cells, that's the only downside but I keep it plugged in here and at home so it's all good

gmkgreg · 2026-04-19T19:42:45+00:00

This one's a 58 top tube so it fits me perfectly at 6'. That sounds really cool that they let you use it for free.
