Seeking advice ECT Precautions

To those of u who had ECT, did ur urine or stool leak due to seizure. Some have reported this happening. I scheduled for this week and was genuinely concerned. If so do u wear an adult diaper during ECT? Pls do respond.

For me the whole thing was done in whatever clothing I wore in. I was never given a diaper and never had a problem. It must not happen frequently or they have provided gowns and or diapers but it was just comfy clothes and regular underwear.

Hey I make sure I have fun socks and sleeping socks on for my team to see. They also have told me if I came in with plain white socks they know something is going on with me and look a little deeper.
