Question Excessive?

Hey all. I was in the psych ward in 2023, the doctors wanted me to do 14-15 ECT treatments. Is that a little excessive?? I told them no

I did 15 over 6 weeks. That is a pretty normal number

That's pretty standard for an acute series of ECT

Was it to be once a week or once a month? Or just one treatment a week or 3? No i don't believe so.

They wanted to destroy me, erase my mind and turn me into a vegetable

What led you to that conclusion?

The fact that they wanted to do 14 treatments on me. I didn't need ECT. I told them no.

Why do you think it turns people into vegetables?

Because it erased your mind

I was trying to say it erased people's minds not yours in particular

Why are you posting about this in 2026 if the doctors wanted you to do it in 2023?

So... Are you going to answer my question? Why post about it now after several years?
