ECT to remove traumatic memories entirely

[deathslament]

Does this work to remove these entirely? its one of the biggest reasons why I want to die

I'm sorry but, no, that's not how ECT works. It doesn't remove long-term memories. It only temporarily affects short-term memory. It can really help alleviating depression, though.

basically begin forced to live with trauma with nothing to do about it is sadistic.

You'd still have the same problems. You just wouldn't know where they originated from.

There's plenty of other therapies. Why are you looking at ECT?
