Anyone have recent ECT? I have questions

I'm getting ready for my first appointment to see if I'm a right candidate. What questions should I ask? How was your experience?

How often were your treatments? How many did you get?

I’m a few days into trans magnetic stimulation. Have you thought about that?

Did you find any benefit from it? I’m one week in.

How has it been going?

Very well. It's likely that you'll have to eventually do bilateral by the way. After a few sessions I felt better and now I do it every few weeks.

Good to hear! Thx for confirmation on bilateral too. I’m considering it for a family member. There are so many conflicting reports that it’s making it a tough decision. Will probably try EMDR first but since meds, TMS, Spravato, and other forms of treatment haven’t worked, ECT might be the one.
