I've gotten to know one of my neighbors, and took him to get his maintenance ECT today. So strange. He emerged with nothing more than a headache. And it seems to do him good. I do notice, however, that he forgets what he has told me all the time. I wish this procedure was perfected 1000 times over... if I had those kind of memory problems there's no way I could ever hope to return to work. And they pre-dated today's treatment. apparently though, it works well enough for him to want to continue living but at the expense of short term memory problems. I hope there are folks in labs going to work every day to get us better treatments for depression. My worthless post for the day.
