[QUOTE="YoyoMama, post: 234967, member: 6659"] My only experience with ECT is with my maternal aunt who had her first bout with any mental health issue beginning Sept of 2007. Her uni-polar depression was extreme and life threatening in that she would not eat and began refusing water. AFter months of having great difficulty getting treatment for her finally she was admitted to Hopkins where they gave her a series of ECT. By May of 2008 she was home and doing very well. Today I see absolutely no sign of her terrible, terrible experience of depression. She does experience memory loss but only for that period when she was depressed and actually psychotic. Her memory before and after hospitalization are excellent. Judging solely from her experience I would definitely be willing to undergo the treatment for myself. But again it was uni-polar. I would also allow my son to undergo ECT if it were recommended by a Dr. I trusted - without a doubt I would allow it. [/QUOTE]
