[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 235086, member: 1545"] My husband ( diagnosed bipolar) had ECT two years ago. He had a series of 9 treatments. They lasted about 3 weeks. We had tried every medication and combo of medication known to modern psychiatry. He was still suicidal and not improving. The treatments were ineffective and based on our experience, barbaric. I am not an advocate of such treatments. It literally erased his memory bank for a period of almost 3 months. That part of his life is just gone to him. I know there are empirical studies that support the efficacy of ECT. But, there are just as many that show it to be not only ineffective, but inhumane. [/QUOTE]
