They wanted to send me to Anchorage for ECT treatments when i was in the hospital last week, but the logistics to do it were a nightmare and it wasn’t feasible. I wish i could’ve gone, it’s helped me in the past. I guess I’m stuck with my broken brain for now…
i have done several ECT while i was held in the psychiatry hospital.i cant judge was it effective or not as i was taking antipsycotic with it and also i didn’t have insight about my mental illness and i don’t have much awareness about surroundings and about it. but according to some studies its effective treatment in schizophrenia alongside other mental illnesses.
Ive had many ECT treatments and it ruined my memory, I can barely remember when my kids were young 
Yeah…ever since i had it i have trouble remembering people’s names and doing math in my head. It was still helpful during times when i quit eating and drinking, tho.
I have the same experience unfortunately. Along with the horror. It was one of the worst treatments I’ve been through. But this was just me personally.
I had 10 treatments followed by maintainance therapy once monthly and relapsed two months after i stopped the treatment due to poor results of the treatment. I hate to be put to sleep within a second, it was horrible.
