yeah. was a rough time in my life. self harming and suicidal. moreover I began to not eat and stuff, everything was a mess. I went and spoke to the gov shrink, my worker took me straight to hospital, the next day I had my first treatment. 6 is a basic course. you have a few the first week and a couple the next type thing. so, you fast, get in the gown, go to sleep and wake up, and you are like, I am next type, the nurse always said, oh sweetie you have been done. so like a second and it is over, little seizure of fingers and toes, just like rebootin ya computer. ok, groggy for a bit, and a sore head for a little, but it passes. I was quite vague for a bit. the treatments did help, but took a little longer. I had both polars done each time. it is a procedure for persons whom are serverely depressed and at risk. memory issues are common with ECT. keep well. hope this helped.
