Anyone considering electroshock for himself or a loved one should check out the electroshock survivors groups. I don't know of any other "therapy" that has inspired thousands of former patients to join together to educate the public about the horrors of this treatment.

For Bill Russell, seven months have passed since his last ECT treatment. He's now taking antidepressants, and he's had some bad days that brought him close to scheduling a booster ECT treatment. But both Russells say that their life is essentially back to the way it's always been in their 12 years of marriage. And they both insist that without ECT, Bill wouldn't be here.
"It was like a kick start, like starting over," Bill Russell says. "When I was done with the treatments and the fog started to clear, it was like waking up from a bad dream."
