ECT cost?

[Lautronjay]

I want to try ECT and was wondering if anybody knows what it would cost. I'm in the us and get healthcare through the VA. I know nobody could possibly know the exact amount but is it a more expensive treatment? Also I would love to read any experiences anybody had with ECT. Thanks

I couldn't say about cost. I'm on Medicaid which means everything is paid for by the government. I have yet to pay a single out of pocket expense in the 6 months I've been on it. I would assume ECT would be free for me.

I've also heard that ECT can erase some of your memories, particularly the ones you're thinking about right as you're being zapped. If I can endure long enough to set up ECT sessions, I know exactly who I'm going to be thinking about as its happening.
