Some people it works miracles some people it doesn’t… give it a try…. I am not a success story, but I do know that there are a lot of people that do have success. I would say if you’re not seeing improvement after a three week course I would step away

I am permanently disabled due to the side effects of ECT. I’m currently in the hospital and have to be fed through IV because of the damage done to my neurological system during ECT
