My personal ECT experiences

Hey everyone.  Was curious about other people's experiences with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for treatment of their depression/disorders.  I am an U.S. Army Veteran and I receive treatment for my depression, PTSD and bipolar disorder from my local VA Hospital.  I personally have had at least 35 ECT treatments over the last few years.  Without a doubt, I can say that I have noticed an improvement over where I was mentally/emotionally 2 years ago.  I still have days where I have deep depression but there are fewer of these days.  The only side effects I have experienced are soreness in my jaw and brief memory loss of events that occurred on the day before and day of the treatment.

I would really enjoy hearing about your ECT experiences, side effects and if it has helped you.

Welcome to the launch of my newest mental health blog - Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for visiting my newest mental health blog on Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).  First of all, I am not a doctor.  However, I have been diagnosed as having bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  I have received over 30 (probably closer to 40) ECT Treaments to date.  So I will be posting from the perspective of a person suffering from mental disorders who has received numerous ECT Treatments and that has an interest in learning more about Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).  I am also very interested in hearing ECT experiences (hopefully success stories) from others.
