Has anyone did the ECT thing? Or know someone..... [View all]

I am apparently considered 'treatment resistant'. My drug pusher doc has me on a new heavy anti-psychotic to see if they work. It's a real 'zombie drug'. But he's really pushing the ECT.

Just curious if anyone has done ECT or know someone who has. What is your impression? Good? Bad? Nothing? It's a little (okay, a lot) scary but "they" tell me it's a fairly common treatment.

Thank you.
