It actually works.: While it sounds like a very drastic step to pursue, the fact is that for the appropriate patient, ECT really, REALLY works. It can cause a dramatic improvement in a patient's symptoms, and quality of life. If it's recommended for you, consider it. Discuss risks and benefits honestly with your provider.
