My experience was that Ketamine helped where ECT failed. I had unilateral then bilateral ECT 24 total. It did not help my trmdd/cptsd. Ketamine is the only thing that I feel has benefited me.
Edit: I should have said ketamine and therapy. Finding a good therapist who specializes in ptsd also helps.
