NAMI 2007 Convention:An Interview with Kitty Dukakis
Janet
Monday, September 03, 2007 at 02:42 PMI want to thank both Robin Cunningham and Kitty Dukakis for letting people know that ECT can be effective and is not barbaric as some folks think it is today. I too had ECT treatments on two different occassions in my life. The first was in 1983 and the next was in 1986. I was given these treatments when the various medications failed me. My diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder.
I also want to thank Kitty for writing a book on her experiences with ECT Treatments. I for one know how these treatments have improved over the years.

I'm happy she's found stability and joy in her life, DF
