When ECT is recommended but memory loss fears paralyze decision-making

My doctor wants me to consider ECT for my depression and I keep putting off the appointment because I am terrified of losing my memories and not being myself anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The fear of losing one's identity through treatment creates a paralysis that perpetuates the very suffering the treatment could relieve.
