My mother did and she ended up with irreversible brain damage. Whoever did this to her has caused my problems, because she couldn't care for me. Wish I could sue Social Services.

I have had ECT before. It has been the only thing to provide any relief from depression and suicidal thoughts. I didn't have the headache or nausea because the hospital that did it gave me medication ahead of time to prevent it. I had some memory loss but if I had the opportunity to do it again I would rather have the memory loss than the intense never ending depression and chronic suicidal thoughts.

I had about 15 rounds of ECT about 11 years ago for major depression (I was diagnosed at 16) and severe post partum depresssion. All it did for me was give me bad headaches after the treatment an cause memory loss, but I have heard that it works for some people. I looked at it as my last resort, I personally would only try it as a last resort if I were you. Good luck with whatever you choose

Hi im new here, I have had eight ECT and personally I would not recommend it to anyone considering this treatment

I'll be honest I don't think I'd do it again I had it 3 times a week for 9 months it got me to get out of bed but it took most all my memory away and it's not coming back after 5 months of stopping. My last ect I woke up during and I couldn't move see hear talk or breath it was the scariest thing ever I passed out after a minute or two then woke up screaming I couldn't breathe it was horrible 😭 😩
