Yesterday was my second session of ECT. The way it works is that you get it done 3 times per week for a month. Depending on recovery, it may be less. I'm happy to say that it really works! (as least for me). After the first session i instantly felt better..not 100%, but significantly better...

If anyone here has had ECT for depression, I'd love to hear about your experience. It's now been 6 months of crippling depression and i have finally decided to go ahead with the ECT procedure. I start the first session tomorrow. I'm still nervous about the possible side effects (memory loss...

It's now been 5 months of crippling depression and i have finally decided to go ahead with the ECT procedure. I start the first session tomorrow. I'm still nervous about the possible side effects (memory loss etc), but the despair to get better has now made me willing to try this procedure since...

in what way were they never the same? memory loss? cognitive problems?

I've been in a deep crippling depression for over 3 months. I've had about 3 hospitalizations this yr. with one suicide attempt. I've had some mania in between, but i returned to yet another depressive episode with a lot of anxiety that has been worsening for over the past 3 months. I'm...

Turn to me and be gracious to me for i am lonely and afflicted. the troubles of my heart have multiplied. free me from my anguish, look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how my enemies have increased and fiercely they hate me. Guard my life and rescue me; let me...

I saw a bird punch through the hollow dome... arching like a dart across sheaves of air, barren and alone. As the birds' cry fades, a hollow space remains as if a mother lost its child and had to go on moving; learning how to turn away from the echo of the infant's cry. Among the...

thank you so much

I greatly thank you for your prayer, for your sensitivity of my illness since a lot of believers think of mental illness to be a result of satanic oppression or weakness of faith. This illness is a proven neurological disorder and most people are ignorant about it. No one would ever say to a...

Thank you. I will remember your words. It brought tears to my eyes when you said: You are who you were, that little girl is still alive and well. God is alive and well and has never changed in your life. This illness has chipped away at me little by little, limited my life and made me feel...

I have tasted the goodness of God and found him when i was 18. I COME AND SEE AND "DO". I know that he is good and merciful and he has shown me his grace countless times. Though your last paragraph showed more mercy, you are presumptuous and somewhat abrasive in your assumptions of my spiritual...
