The other thing that your dr may say is that there are a lot of extremists online that are against all forms of psychiatry (meds, ECT, etc). This is definitely true, especially when it comes to a controversial subject like ECT. But, prior to all this, I was a mental health counselor for over 15 years. I have a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and I've always been an advocate of mental health treatment.

But that's exactly why I accepted all the main stream info about ECT and dismissed what looked like the rantings of people that think all psychiatry is evil. A lot of the anti-ECT websites come across as extreme and not very valid, but the feedback from thousands of people who've had ECT is very real.
