Just wanted to post here that today January25th, 2012 Dr. Oz is going to do a segment on ECT Treatments. I for one am Anxious to see this segment to see just what his take is on these treatments. While some do not like these treatments for me such treatments did wonders. I had these treatments in 1983 and again in 1986 when it seemed no medication could relieve the deep depression I was experiencing.

Hi Janet,

I'd like to hear from you again after you've watched the Dr. Oz segment to see what he said as I'll be at work when his show airs.

I'm glad ECT worked for you, and I respect your decision to use ECT as a tool to get better. A lot of anti-psychiatry folk do protest against its use. Yet from what I know it can work wonders for a person.

Let us know what Dr. Oz says.

Enjoy your day.

Regards,

Christina

After watching Dr. Oz show today dealing with ECT or shock treatments I feel he did a good job of explaining how these treatments have changed and also how the treatents works. He also has opened a can of worms among his viewers as some still believe such treatments are terrible. As I said earlier today I had these treatments in 1983 and again in 1986 and like the two ladies featured on his shows these treatments did wonders for me and I would not hesitate to have the treatments again if my psychiatrist recommmended them again.

Hi Janet,

That's great to hear that ECT's worked for you. I, too, have had them and still get one every two weeks. They have helped me greatly. Sorry I missed the Dr.Oz show about them, it would've been interesting to see what was discussed.
