[QUOTE="Fran, post: 235089, member: 3"] ECT is portrayed terribly by the film industry but for many it is life saving. It's use has improved with the progress of medicine. The state of imbecilic affect that is portrayed is similar to the state following a grand mal seizure. Most peoples experience with ECT is from films and television which are portrayed in a terrifying way. Most of us who have experience with seizure disorders know that seizures are terrifying. I know that it doesn't always work. It's not for everyone or every type of mood disorder but it does work for some and it is reputable medicine. It's not torture. If it were my child,I would use the most reputable and experienced physician(which sounds like you have), do research then make a choice for your son's future. What you are doing isn't working. What alternatives do you have? [/QUOTE]
