Don't knock the potential cognitive losses ECT can impose. For me they have been devasting. A taste of TD also leaves me shunning APs. When I bring these subjects up I have a therapist who says "You're still alive. Perhaps they helped." Frankly I'll never know, but I don't want to revisit either APs or ECT. Risk vs benefit. We will never be able to get away from it. I made choices I regret, but made them with the best information available to me at the time.
ECT and APs can save lives. Intellectuallly that's a no-brainer. Personally ... that's another matter.Chris A.
