Thank you so much for the kind words, Galen! I'm just sharing my experiences, hoping they can offer others in the same boat some degree of help.

Can I ask you something, though? What is ECT like? Do you feel any immediate benefits afterward, even if shortlived? Is it really as unpleasant as everyone says?

I hope you'll forgive the curiosity, but you are I think the only person I've ever encountered who's (openly, at least) taken ECT.
