Experiences with

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)

I had ect years ago. My immediate result was calming but my memory & understanding was bad. Today, I still have memory issues. Anyone else have this experience. And I still have depression.

Has anyone had ECT some time ago that didn’t work but then had ECT again and it did work?

I’ve noticed I don’t seem to have night sweats or certain other issues (feverish ache sensation) with my CLL when I take Claritin(Loratadine). Is that just me? I did some basic research and found that several drugs in this class including Tagamet are being researched as beneficial for cancer. Anyone

Our 15 year old daughter is still bed wetting every single night we had test done ect all came back fine we tried bed wetting alarms waking her up to go a loo medication ect northing seems to work at all she's on oxybutin tablets which as not really worked she's had the odd dry night she won't wear

I had bloods and ecg done and both negative for Heart faliure ect. I had chest x ray yesterday evening, If it was lung issues such as cancer or anything else causing it would it show on chest x ray also any idea what it could be

I had a series of ECT treatment in. 2008. It was traumatic for my partner and parents but it did work alongside the psychotherapy & development of habits such as meditation. Our local health service no longer offers ECT at all, Probably a cost saving.

Hi all I'am new to the group I'am 50 years old and I have been suffering from bed wetting problems all my life and overactive bladder I've had test done all came back fine I tried bed wetting alarms meds ect no luck

Thyroid anemia ect included was active b12 which has come back at >300 pnol/L my last injection was December. Bit worried at how high it is.

I’m new here so please be kind. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 about two months ago and I’m starting to think Lamotrigine is not enough. Has anyone ever tried electro-convulsive therapy? During a stint in a psych ward I saw this treatment help others but I’m honestly afraid of it.

I've approached Irwin Mitchell and they quoted £1500 but I know wills and trusts ect can be expensive. Could anyone point me in the right direction of good solicitors in Manchester or the surrounding areas? Thank you

I've tried meds, TMS, ECT, therapy, meditation, exercise....would love to hear ideas folks have for me.... I'm 62 and have been anxiety riddled and depressed since grade school. Thanks for those who've written already and I welcome more input.

I have been hospitalized lately twice recently for this and have decided to undergo ect starting Thursday and I must say I'm scared.....any thoughts.

I have memory impairments from ECT and a learning disability so it's very very difficult to learn and retain information along with panic disorder. I have 2 more tests and 1 assignment and I want to give up. I know I can't. But it's so difficult not to throw the towel in. I just needed to vent.

My question is the following, Even with a bad mri image would it still be possible to pick up a large mass or would the image quailty not pick it up ect. I have reasults back in next few days via email

Symptoms have continued, on rest I’m around 96, shoots up when moving around the house ect. My discharge states suspected SVT but any ideas on this and is there anything I should ask ect when I see them in clinic? Thanks so much

Just want to see if anyone has been through the same thing/similar or has any advice or notes on healing ect... Thanks x

I may see if I can stay off them for as long as I can, Hoping the worst is over for the withdrawal, its brutal but I had a lot of anxiety built up about over my first visit, an hour talking to the psychiatrist in charge, checking vitals ect. but a relief that part is over, just have to go for the therapy

I am waiting for an Autism assesment which I know can affect hearing and is all to do with different parts of the brain and not hearing certain sounds ... Has anybody experienced this? 🌹

ended up in hospital the next day thinking there was something wrong with my heart, doctors done tests ecg, blood work checked my lungs and heart everything was good three months on I’m still feeling like shit :( I feel like my hearts gonna fail, I get palpitations headaches muscles pains chest pains ect

At my consultation on Tuesday my Dr said that the IVF funding system is shocking with the post code lottery ect and states that we should look at changing our GP to get further funding. Can i ask has anyone done this?
