If there any Medications you are recomended for managment of memory loss after ect
Had 23 ects it didnt help at all
TMS saved my life ❤
Tbh ive read about the significant memory loss and i dont care. Ive been living in this hell for almoat 40 years. My days are filled with waiting to go back to sleep. Havent created any significant memories in decades because this disease overshadows everything.
The problem with these treatments is they are not getting to the root cause of what is driving the depression…
Ketamine treatment shows promise
Took ECT and TMS. I would recommend ECT to anybody that suffers depression over TMS. Non-invasive and didn’t experience the memory loss I did with ECT. 🧠
ECT cause PTSD
I did 32 ECT treatments and it did NOT help me at all, had the worst side effects and left me (even with insurance), $5,680 in medical debt.
My Blus cross blue shield linsurance will not cover severe mental health issues for ECT. But does partial coverage if you are an addict. I am So fucking frustrated.
You use your Doctor degree to spread lies and misinformation, how can you live with yourself. The side effects of ECT is well documented and thoroughly studied, it should not be recommended to anyone due to the often severe and permanent side effects, not to mention its effectiveness is debatable. Whereas TMS has no severe side effects and whats 6 weeks of commitment for a cure? I cant believe this doctor is actually recommending ECT over TMS in the 21 century…what an absolute tool.
TMS gave me depression and I nearly ended my life. So, ECT probably will do the same and isn’t an option for me
These Ho€s Insane 😂
I did 19 sessions of ect. I regret it immensely. It didn’t work, and gives me huge memory problems, which go as far back as 5-6 years. The last session was a month ago, and I keep forgetting a lot of things from one week to the other and cannot learn new things. I definitely am not as sharp as I used to be. Also, it is extremely traumatizing to see people getting ect who are forced by a judiciary decision and cry for help. It is a violent treatment. I was NOT warned of these potential side effects. Doctors tell me they don’t know if my memory will come back. I cannot work, I am even more socially awkward, I am slow. Please don’t do this.
I apologize to the psychiatrists that this offends ,I have dealt with many psychiatrists and the vast majority of these people are sicker than their patients, they are mentally twisted, they just stopped using lobotomy in the 1970s ,they give you ssri and the side effects are terrible but they tell you to stay on them for at least a month for therapeutic doses, but after 4 days you can't take it so they say " let's try this one " like they are taking it also 😮, most psychiatrists score as paranoid schizophrenic when they take the mmpi test or mmpr test, evil people evil, if they are honest with you they will tell you psychiatry is one step above shaking rattles above a campfire
If u don’t mind I’m happy being depressed personally….thank you though
How do u say all of this with a straight face? U are shocking people's brains against their will. Ur sick. Psychiatry is dangerous. If u love urself u better get away from psychiatrists
Sadly nothing has worked including the specual treatments like TMS and Ketamine.
But if you can't remember what makes you sad, you would be happier (?)
ECT is a human rights violation.
😮 ummmm no
This is what was recommended to me yesterday as we are at the end of the line with meds
i'm halfway through deep tms and i feel so much better yeah i have side effects but nothing crazy. i feel energetic and happier.
Does ECT work for akathisia?
What if you want to forget things? Does it help with ptsd?
I personally would never get anything done to my brain ECT nor TMS.. I nearly died in 2020.I was suicidal all year because I have OCD and I got triggered during the pandemic. I couldn’t keep myself safe enough. Mytherapist suggested I get ECT. I refused and was in bed for nine months, extremely depressed, but I will never ever go near these options. No one takes responsibility when they ef up
This type of therapy & medications need to be explained to the actual patient not forced onto the patient through the patients family.
My sister had eight sessions. She is no longer the same person. I miss the person she was.
I tried ECT didnt work & my brain cognitive functions & memory are messed up ….. never try ECT unless you thinking about suicide and tried everything else …. I wish I never tried it 😢
Let’s bring back vintage electroshock 😈😈😈
There are 2 kinds of ECT, Bi-latteral and uni-latteral. I was inpatient for 2 weeks and observed other depressed patients during treatment. The hospital only did unilateral, which is supposed to have significantly less side effects. They all were perfectly fine. One woman said her remission lasted 6 years!
I'm going to try it soon because I've been in treatment for depression for 10 years trying all sorts of medications, I'm SSRI resistant. Have gained so much weight. Had to go on disability. Depression ruined my life. I've done TMS and it works for about 4 months, my insurance doesn't cover maintenance, if they did maybe it would last longer? TMS is a big time commitment and that gets in the way of other things.
I've done Spravato(ketamine) too and I feel like the effects only last a couple of hours? I was doing it twice a week for some weeks. The dizziness and nausea that accompany it are bad. It tastes so disgusting that I've actually thrown up.
I really hope ECT helps me and doesn't make my life work but I really don't have much to lose.
TMS does not work at all! With ECT its about 15 to 20% improvement.
No success with TMS 👎🏽 no success with ketamine 👎🏽 no success with therapy 👎🏽 no success with meds 👎🏽 sometimes it’s best to give up
I had one TMS session about 1 year ago it was excruciatingly painful for the first time I told him to stop and they did I never want to go through that much pain again I will not do that again
It’s unfortunate that so many people had these bad experiences with ECT. Both I personally and several friends and family members have had wildly positive experiences with it. I have severe depression and schizophrenia in my family, and ECT was the only thing that worked to give me a normal life. It may seem scary, but everyone shouldn’t immediately write it off. 😊
And big pharma and Eli Lilly laugh all the way to the bank. The majority of psychiatric treatments don’t work because it’s pseudoscience. It’s bullshit. If it worked then the statistics would be much better. It’s a scam to make the shareholders a shit ton of money
I don’t care how depressed I get- I will never consent to getting ECT.
Why is this not censored or more appropriately, removed???!
THIS IS DANGEROUS HARMFUL MISINFORMATION!!!
But try find a YouTube vid telling the TRUTH and they have a viewer discretion notification?
If you need to hear the TRUTH from a medical professional then research Dr. Peter Breggin.
Or just see all the comments here from so many survivors who were victim of this barbaric practice to disproving the LIES this woman is spreading.
I am a survivor- we know the TRUTH
😲
I want ECT!❤️
I just started ECT recently, just had my 3rd treatment this morning. I finally feel as if I’m climbing towards the sun after spending a lifetime in the dark
These both sound terrible!
They always treat depression is such horrible ways. It would just be better to have the depression!
In slowly more and more convinced that depression is a spiritual issue. The prayer for serenity as repeated in CR and AA meetings really helps with this.
I know someone who finally healed her gut with Functional Nutritional medicine who had over 100 ECTs and now has permanent physical impairment from it and the Rx drugs that were given to her (which never worked) for a Mental "illness" she didn't have, the symptoms of which were caused by Mold Toxicity.
Liar
Your treatment solutions they don’t make sense in this century we need to help to this beautiful humans not gave them more troubles
I been there and it take also lots of self love to help yourself to look how beautiful is the world
Wasn’t good for me shut off part of my brain caused major long term damage . Will get you through 2-4 yrs then all the depression comes back until you deal with it counseling exercise healthy eating!
