> How come people on maintenance ECT only receive a couple of treatments per month? Wouldn't you need more than that?
Nobody needs ECT. Humans have never had an ECT deficiency.I would like to follow up on the post by AdamCanada. My experience is similar. Devastating brain changes or damage in terms of cognitive and social skills are evident. Only two things were not affected. My guitar playing, which is a gift from God that He protected and enhanced, while everything else got damaged. And my ability to love. Besides those two things, all else in terms of physical and mental took a turn for the worse after ECT.
Maintenance ECT might be ok for someone confined to prison for life, who is rowdy and uncontrollable. Sizzle some of their brain cells to bring them down a few notches.
I can't believe the hype and the...geez, here it goes again...I can't think of the word...uh..hmmm...oh yeah, scandel of ECT.
If anyone thinks they need ECT, what they really need is a better doctor. ECT is miserable copout for someone who knows not what to do.
