I had ECT 3x a week for a year and a half. It didn't help. I had it for a deep depression, where I was hospitalized at least once a month (psych).

Not me personally, but I knew someone with BPD Depression and anxiety who went through it and suffered deeply from emotional numbness, more depression, and memory issues.
