Wow, what an informative set of posts for this thread! I don't know anyone who has had ECT, but I recently read An Unquiet Mind and Kay Jamison's opinion of it, and later read Undercurrents by Martha Manning. Manning is a therapist who had a depression that didn't respond to treatment and she had undergone ECT treatments. She had many fears about it and the book showed her gradual recovery from her depression and from the treatments.
I need to research more about it, but after my own recent bout of depression and still battling it for about 5 years, I definitely have it in mind as a last resort, but also an option. I certainly hope I don't have to undergo it. However, if it helps me have a fuller and more complete life, then yes, I would serious consider it and undergo it.
