I have seen positive results for non survivors, Survivors on the other hand
I have seen at least three cases and the results were very bad. I am not a
doctor, but I would suggest a frontal lobodemey using microscopic use of
liquid nitrogen which I have seen helpful for several survivors over ECT
anytime.

I'm not saying I'm in favor of ECT but I have worked as a nurse previously
and believe it or not, it has helped many severely depressed elderly people
regain normal function again. As I've said, I've never heard of it being
used
with TBI's. I think one problem is how ECT has been portrayed in movies and
TV shows. It's not like that at all.
