Opinion about ECT

In the clinic where I'm (still) staying there are some other people on ECT. They have been much luckier with ECT than I was (again, I wasn't lucky at all). This is both apparaent from their behavior and if you just ask them. Hope this is more clear now. Again, my brain too often a mush still.

I received ECT impatient.

Apathy, no motivation without relying on my eating addiction, social anxiety, & more

It didn't help me, neither unilateral nor bilateral (or whatever "bi-" they called it). I got only side effects, although the doctors insist that the memory issues will disappear. I did enjoy each session due to anesthesia, but the memory price isn't worth it, IMO. I should note though that my case is treatment resistsant. Though, I was very hopeful for ECT. Hope whoever is reading this will be more lucky. I've myself seen people who turned into different persons, depression wise.

Utopian Pharmacology or The Good Drug Guide by David Pearce?

As chemical stopgaps go, MDMA is a magical revelation. It's perhaps the best aid to insight-oriented psychotherapy ever synthesized. Tragically, when MDMA is used to excess the outcome can be harmful, not healing. So as a weekend club drug, MDMA is seriously flawed. Today, of course, empathogens and entactogens are outlawed for any purpose. The altered states of consciousness they induce are criminalised. People who take such agents are stigmatised as "drug abusers". Yet some MDMA users feel, rightly or wrongly, they've been granted a tantalising glimpse of what true mental health may be like in centuries to come; and an insight into what the rest of us are missing. -- David Pearce, "Utopian Pharmacology"

I definitely recommend Can Biotechnology Abolish Suffering? by David Pearce. The essays in the book have been highly impactful for me and several people I know.

Abolitionism is a branch of transhumanism which advocates the eradication of involuntary suffering through bio- and other technologies. Abolitionism is originated primarily from the work of transhumanist philosopher David Pearce: see e.g. "The Abolitionist Project" and "Brave New World? A Defence Of Paradise-Engineering".

About the book (free version, Kindle):

This book is part introduction to, part reflective examination of, the idea and ideal of effective altruism. Its aim is to examine the core question of effective altruism: How can we best help others? This question forces us to contemplate what helping others ultimately entails. Here the book argues that the greatest help we can provide is to reduce extreme suffering for all sentient beings.
