[quote=Anonymous]I worked in a clinic that provided ECT so while I haven't experienced it myself I have seen many people get it. My uncle had ECT for years. It works really well for some people in alleviating the depression. They respond to the initial set of treatments and the maintenance treatments keep the depression away. Other people I have seen have taken longer to respond and some haven't responded at all. As for side effects. Almost everyone has some memory loss/fuzziness/sleepiness right after but I've also seen people basically be depression free the day of treatment - although it might not stay that effective in the longer term. I have seen a few people with longer term memory issues. Some have discontinued ECT and others decided that treated depression with memory loss was a better alternative than untreated depression and a good memory. Definitely consider it, hopefully more people can give you their first hand experience. [/quote]
