    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL DISABILITY. RECEIVED ECT TREATMENTS FOR DEPRESSION FROM 2005-2007. HAVE COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES FROM THIS PROCEDURE. TOLD PSYCHIATRIST ABOUT COGNITIVE DISABILITIES SOON AFTER FIRST ECT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT FROM ECT. I LATER TOLD MY PSYCHIATRIST I NO LONGER WANTED ECT PROCEDURE BUT HE CONTINUED TO DO THEM EVEN THOUGH HE COULD SEE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE COMMUNICATING AND EVEN WALKING FROM ECT. I HAD NEVER BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS BEFORE ECT. I WAS NOT RESISTANT TO ANTIDEPRESSANTS. I HAD ONLY SEEN HIM A FEW TIMES BEFORE ECT. HE DID NOT WARN ME OF ANY POSSIBLE LONG LASTING EFFECTS OF ECT. BEFORE ECT I WAS A NURSE WHO WORKED FULL TIME. AFTER ECT I AM UNABLE TO WORK DUE TO COGNITIVE AND PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF ECT. ELECTRIC SHOCK THERAPY CHANGED MY ABILITY TO LEARN, REMEMBER, AND FUNCTION AS A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY. I DID NOT BENEFIT FROM HAVING ECT IN ANY WAY. IT HAS MADE MY LIFE HARDER. PLEASE BAN ECT. AMERICAN COMPANY. FDA SAFETY REPORT ID # (B)(4).
