Has anyone here gotten ECT and regretted it?

My first treatment is Monday morning. I’m freaking out about it. I’m seeing a bit of good posts so I’m wondering about the other side. If you regret it then why?

Basically I’m wondering if I’m making a mistake.

Guess I’m doing it. Just thought I should see if there was another side to it.

I had an older relative that benefitted from it for decades. It seemed to work when nothing else did, to get her out of deep depression.

I'm not surprised that you're not getting very many responses on this topic. I was under the impression that very few Docs used ECT anymore these days. Can I ask how you/your Doc arrived at the decision to use ECT?
