> Do you have some confidence that the ECT worked for a reason other than placebo? I found great relief from it that seemed distinctly different from before the ECT. I haven't found much reason to think about it more than that—I'm not in the business in prescribing treatment, but I'm grateful for what I did find. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar has an excellent description of the aftermath of the treatment that roughly aligned with my own, albeit I experienced it much slower than how it was depicted in the novel.
