@xinlihan I so glad to hear that your wife's ECT treatments brought about these positive changes. You are a blessing to have made all this happen for your wife at Mayo Clinic. It sounds like you were and are a strong advocate for your wife.
What would you say to someone who is contemplating ECT for themselves or a loved one?

Helen, I am not sure, honestly. I really relied on the Mayo Care Team we were fortunate to have, and during those first few dark days, I accepted pretty much on faith that it would work. I had to be an active particpant due to my wife not speaking English, and also possessing world-class level of obstinence.

Before we started I felt strong doubts due to the comments I saw posted on this blog. Many do not have success with ECT, apparently. My wife responded well due to the nature of what had befallen her, originating from famly tragedy. So, I relied on those folks in Generose and we were fortunate to have a positive result. Thanks
