So, after 20 plus years, 2 different diagnoses & being on just about every anti-depressant & anti psychotic medication there is, my doctor has told me of this last one they are trying me on doesn't offer me any relief from my bi polar depression & anxiety that they want me to try electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). I'm been researching it & am not happy with a lot of the testimonials & side effects I've seen. At this point, I'm just resigning myself that this is just always going to be my life. Has anyone had any experience with ECT?
