So when I started having ECT I had it 3 times a week and it really helped me a lot. My suicidal thoughts were completely gone. They decreased the frequency to once a week and I started to feel really depressed again. My psychiatrist told me I should talk to the doctor about going back up to twice a week. I have had 14 treatments so far.
So I had my treatment today and I talked to the dr about this and he told me that they would not space out the treatment frequency yet but he didn't want to go up to twice a week. And then after the treatment they told me that I was not scheduled for another treatment for 2 weeks. So basically he lied to me and spaced the treatments out. I asked one of the nurses to talk to him about this but he would not reschedule. I feel like people tell me to advocate for myself but when I do, nobody listens to me. I feel incredibly insulted and like the drs there do not like me. Why does the dr not care about what I think?
Your doctor probably noticed that you were sufferring adverse memory cognitive effects. You are probably not aware of them. Please note that EC causes temporary feelings of concussed happiness but permanent brain damage.
ECT causes permanent brain damage and should be banned.
I want more ECT
