Electroconvulsive Therapy
Hi,
I'm still fairly new to this forum but need some help please. I'm bipolar and one of my treatments is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). I usually go every two weeks but did my last two a week apart to help deal with my depression. It made me really foggy brained and even more issues with my memory.
Anyway, long story short - I go again this Friday 8/20 and it's been three weeks this time. I'm very nervous. I hate ECT! I get sick from it and am in bed the whole day. Can't keep anything down...blah, blah, blah not going to bore you with more of that. The bottom line is that they help. Especially with my suicidal thoughts.
Does anyone else out there do ECT?
Debbie
