Yes! I suffered from depression for over 12 years when I finally tried ECT. I'll admit I was scared but also at the end of the line, exhausted, I hit rock bottom and had nothing left to lose. I did have muscle pain and short term memory loss, and that took about 2-3months to resolve, but for the first time in a long time I left better, I still had work to do but instead of nothing to help get me out of the hole I was in I had been given a boost to find the ladder to climb the rest of the way out. For me and and this is my experience it was the best decision I made. I wish you all the best. Good luck xo
