Hello diane stansbury,   You are going through a lot right now and would like some peace of mind I am sure about the decisiion to utilize ECT or not use ECT.   You could Google "shock treatment schizophrenia," for Web site results you would have to evaluate, research and look at carefully.  However, a better option would be to go to the main library in your town or city to speak with a reference librarian who could point you to medical books and resources.  He or she would not be able to give medical advice, but they will be able to do the research for you and point you to the information.   Another option is that big cities (like here in New York City, where we have the New York Academy of Medicine, a research library) may have a medical library.  The main branch of a library system, like here in Brooklyn, also will possibly have a medical librarian trained in finding medical informatiion.   I hope this helps.   All the best, Chri
