I have 8 treatments so far. My doc is a psychiatrist, ect expert/trainer, Parkinson specialist, and geriatric specialist. He is treating me for suicidal depression and PD with ECT. It was clear after tx #2 that it was having a profound positive effect. I scheduled for 8 more tx/, 2/week. I am very tired and cranky the day of, but day 2 I am flying!

Yes, I had etc twice, 1990 and 1994. It severely messed up my memory and level of functioning.
