Im Dgango. I have had ECT many times. Sorry to say it didn't help my depression very much, but in some cases it helps greatly. I wouldn't be too scared about giving it a shot. It's really safe . Any memory loss is almost always temporary. (like a couple of hours. I only had 1 bad experience, I was really stiff and achy right after the ECT, but I told the nurse and she gave me something to help. If you want to do it I would say don't do it out patiment.Check yourself in. It sounds like you need a new counselor Now. You shouldn't have any one being hard on you when your that depressed. Honestly I would check myself in . I'm so happy to "talk to you"! It keeps me from dwelling on my probs . I am rooting for you:).
