Two people I know had ECT in early 2000. Both had been at rock bottom--unable to get out of bed or get dressed, eternally exhausted, direly negative about life, uninterested in food, incapable of work, and often suicidal. They had electroshock within a few months of each other. The first suffered severe manifest memory loss after the treatments--he had been an engineer and now couldn't remember how a circuit worked. The second came out as morose as she had gone in because she was still confronted with authentic life problems. The engineer's memory began to resurface about three months later, and by the end of the year, he was getting up, going out, had returned to a job, and was functioning well. He said it was "probably a coincidence".
The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, Andrew Solomon.
I HAVE THE MOST CHEERFUL BEDTIME READING EVER. :B Really good book though. I got it last summer and left it half-finished at home so I've only just picked it up again.
Yesterday I popped into a convenience store to get some tic-tacs before I stopped by the temp agency and was waiting behind this middle-aged man taking forever. Eventually he decided he didn't want his newspaper because it was the wrong size (?) and instead of putting it back himself or letting the clerk take care of it he gave it to me and told me to put it back. And then the clerk was crabby at me for not putting it in the right place. What the hell. I just wanted to get rid of my coffee breath :(
