This treatment scares me to no end. I would never ever do it. Also I get sick to my stomach when movies speculate on its use.

I had the same advice, then I saw someone in my family transformed from a frightening robot like state, to a warm nice person again. Truly astonishing!

There's a lot of myths associated with ECT, especially the procedure and equipment. I've seen the procedures carried out on people with schizophrenia and depression in documentaries and it's not the least bit scary to watch.
