[QUOTE="totoro, post: 234974, member: 3155"] In 2 memoirs I have read I remember ECT being used and it saving the persons life. I personally do not know any one who has had it. But in the memoirs it was used after many medication trials and hospitalizations, as a last resort. The one woman I remember was a rapid cycler I believe in a mixed state at many times, BiPolar (BP)-I. He name is, Myra Hornbacher. Her life was a horrible nightmare and she is now doing well. Her book is wonderful, "Madness-A Bipolar life" Sorry I do not have Any more info. From what I have read, it is much safer now and used when patients are unable to come out of a depressive state most times. When patients are un-responsive to medications. From what I have read, after ECT many people are able to go back a much normal routine and begin medications again and therapy. Good luck with your decsicion and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
