Hi, i'm a 19 year old teenager, I'v ben struggling with ocd/depression for the past 3 years but lately it got so bad I had to withdraw from college, and come back home. I have been hopitalized 2 times for the past 2 months and the doctor reccomended ECT. I wnat to know has anyone here had thsi tretament. If so, how much memory prior teh treatment was lost, because I really really want that. I've been tormented by thoughts everyday. I don't want to live anymore if this ect tretament failed, i want to forget everything and start over.

Hi bebisugar,

Welcome to the board. I am sorry you are having such a rough time. I wish I had an answer for you but I honestly don't know what this treatment is. Have you done some research online and discussed it with your family?

Love & hugs, Kristina
