As with my depression and OCD after six treatments it was gone.

Without question Electro Convulsive Therapy pulled me out of my depression and saved my life. It continues to be an effective treatment for me with very positive results. I am now doing it weekly on an outpatient basis.

I had it done during Christmas vacation from work and it was done within too short of a time span. I had memory loss during that time period, but I can't tell that it helped.
