So,
Many of you know that I’ve been struggling lately. I’ve given rave reviews about having three series of treatments since 2003. I just had a call with my psychiatrist. She thinks it may be time for ECT, again.
I have some memory issues from previous ECT treatments.
I guess I’m scared. AND depressed.
I could use some support, if you’re so inclined.
I did it and would not recommend it. 
I assume there were no other options other than ECT?
Did you have 3x week for 6 weeks with maintenance treatments following?
What happened?
Thanks so much for responding. 
My pdoc seems to think no meds can fix it. I’m not suicidal now, so I’m not as sick as before, apparently. ECT helped a lot. I’m just scared.
Well, best of luck with it. If it worked before , hopefully it will work again.
I really don’t want to do it. But, hey, that’s what they get paid big bucks for, right?
Thanks for helping me.
I did 6 treatments. It didn’t help, it just needed with my memory. 
Wow! 6 treatments in all? Was it for depression? Sz? Sorry it didn’t work for you.
ECT is for depression. It didn’t work because I have Sz, not depression. 
Gotcha. It seems like someone posted that they were going to have ECT for sz.
I just thought they were confused.
Sad that your psychiatrist didn’t know the difference between depression and sz negative symptoms. Luckily mine does know and told me that I don’t have depression, just sz negative symptoms.
I’m sza. My pdoc and I discussed this. We both think depression is helped by ECT. Negative symptoms aren’t helped by ECT.
Thanks for your input.
Yea thats what my pdr told me when I asked about ECT and rTMS.
Antidepressants arent working for you?
Have u thought about TMS?
No antidepressants really work for me. I’m on mood stabilizers.
You need to weight ECT benefits vs side effects. Your should discuss this with your Dr.
Yeah. Live and learn, i guess. 
What is TMS?
@Aziz
My pdoc and I have discussed that. I guess I don’t see myself needing ECT. I wish I had more insight on depression.
