I didn't consent to ECT meaning I was forced into it being a health professional in my own right.Violating my right,it didn't take away the pain and grief

Awesome video

I realize your videos were quite sometime ago but I’m 71 and just started ECT. This is my 3rd week and we just started bi-lateral. Not a lot of improvement yet. Thank you for your post it really helps as this all really scares me.

I just restarted ECT, I’m 71 not a young chick like you. So happy for you.

So happy for you.

I know this video is 5 yrs old but when did you start to feel better ? Treatment number what?

ECT does more harm than good

thanks for sharing your journey with us! hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much for sharing. Severe depression is so hard to live with but there are great treatments out there!

Did my third ECT treatment today, just feel terrible 😫, I'm trying to have hope. Depression sucks

Hi Jenny, How is life? We miss your updates. It helps a lot to know your journey with its ups and downs. It gives us hope. Anyway, wishing you all the best and many blessings always...

Hello. I am exactly you. Perfectionism bla bla. Antidepressants stop working. I think you should screen for bipolar spectrum though. Anyways, does 1 ECT per 3 weeks makes someones memory or learning at university worse? Or it is only the big course in 1st 3 weeks. Thanks.

Been subscribed for years, just came across you again after quite awhile. How are you going now? Hope you're doing well. Not wanting to het out of bed is basically my life right now.

I know this is ancient but thank you

Please post updates. Im starting ECT today

A couple of months after I had ECT I had a brain bleed. I hadn't had a fall or hit my head . The only thing concerning my head was the ECT! I also had a lot of memory loss short and long term. Even big events in my past I had no memory of!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience... videos like yours gave me and my wife a better understanding of what this option is. This was all new territory for me just a few weeks ago. My wife has responded well to ECT since the second treatment. She is out of the dark place she was after she tried the unthinkable. I understand from your video it will continue to be a journey. I would love for people to have easier access to healthcare they need and deserve. Wish you the best to you always!

Any updates? Love our journey and you! I hope u are doing okay! Screw yoda lol juts always try your best even if your best is different each day!

I'm inspired ❤

💜💜💜

I'm on the fence about it. Like most people, I'm scared of the memory loss. I'm also a teacher and can't afford to have that throwing me off in the classroom. If I do it, I hope my experience is like yours.

At what point in treatment do you think your memory problems started?

I've heard horrible memory loss and extreme depression residing Ect. I did TMS therapy last year and have had a big improvement in depression after. Be careful with ECT, I do think my voltage was pumped extra high because of my resistance to the treatment. By the way, my memory loss is almost completely short term. Like I forget the words as I know I'm typing them. 😆 Many years later about 4-5, my short term memory had gotten better.

Are you ok? Why did you stop making videos

What medication worked for you?

You are saving lives ❤

I'm on the ECT waitlist and I've been doing a lot of um . .waiting . . Lol so it really helps to hear what you have to say about it. I'm also a runner and am hoping that this therapy doesn't set me back too far.

If you’re still out there, Auvelity fixed my treatment resistant depression. Good luck - you’re beautiful inside and out!

Hi Jenny! I cannot express how amazed I am by your courage. I am a 21y/o female struggling from anxious depression past 4 years and I’m about to have ECT. I am scared but I’m hoping it works!

The memory loss isn't nearly as bad for me as the loss of cognitive function! The ability to retain new information. It is awful. I was able to return to college and graduate summa cum laude at the age of 59, after having 8 ECT treatments 2 years prior. However, as I've returned to the workforce, my inability to retain new material is downright humiliating and embarrassing. I don't believe the success rate is 80% by any means. I was told 82% in 2017...but more recent research shows the success rate to be much lower. Ketamine, and getting on the right meds (for me), are the 2 things that have given me what hope I now have. This is only MY experience, everyone is different.

Any update video?

Pretty hot for a depressed chick

How are you???

To me the memory loss would totally be worth it, a definite downside, but my memories will do me no good if I'm dead... Thank you for the video, so hopeful to try this.

I notice that I no longer am sharp on times or dates. I feel that my memory loss has been significantly reduced.Now in my 60’s I fear that I have dementia. I had 12 sessions of ECT in my early 50’s. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Can you help me to my depression nothings to effect its worst to meds can ect works for me please help me

Hi. Did ect help with anxiety?

Thanks for these videos. I wonder how you are doing now? I am considering ECT but at the moment I can't get it on the NHS. So will have to go privately which is expensive.

What's new?

This is from 8 years ago. You are things now" n

I’ve looked up your Twitter and Instagram accounts but find nothing. I found you on Facebook but nothing was new. Perhaps the spelling is different. I was curious about how you’re doing.

I wish she would come back and check in.

Thank god

how are you doing now? im about tto have the treatment

thank you so, so much for this video. i smiled often, and the information is so valuable. i applaud you for this. -Matt

Please help If there any Medications you are recomended for managment of memory loss after ect

You are very brave. Good luck in everything that you do.😊😊❤❤

I'd like to forget 90% of all my memories permanently

How are you u doing now, Jenny? :)

A decade later, I honestly felt happy hearing you talking about how sincerely you felt better. It did not happen to me when I had ECT, but I know I'm part of the 20% that doesn't respond like expected. Much love <3
