Yes. I had my first round of 12 ECT in a psychiatric hospital in the mid-1980s. It was not helpful. As I continued in Suicidal treatment-resistant depression, I was sent for Outpatient ECT in Nashville in 1990. It was a 90-minute trip one way and I had to be there at 7 AM. My Mother drove me to treatments and back home afterward. I was at the end of the road with no other option. I had 2 treatments a week for two months and then they spaced them further apart. I had to stop at 31 additional treatments in 1994 after I wrapped my car around a utility pole and broke my femur and right hand. Quite impossible to make the trip in that condition. In retrospect, they did help me “not care” so much. I began eating again and did recover from very severe Anorexia. They blunted my feelings. It was the closest thing up to that point to help me. However, it does not compare to the Miracle I found in taking 3 doses of Ketamine per week at home with a Tripsitter.clinic via Telemedicine. I highly recommend Ketamine treatment. It has saved my life at 60 years of age.
