galen Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 OK, maybe my last post sounded a bit harsh, but I've found people somehow understand better when they're yelled at. To say it in a softer way - I am certainly in no position to give such sound advice, having, thank goodness, no experience with the treatment and not coming from a medical profession. However, I heard therapists say that EST is used in EXCEPTIONAL cases, such as VERY severe forms of schizophrenia, where the person might be dangerous to themselves or others - NOT FOR DEPRESSION!!! And, adding my own thoughts, I believe it would alter your personality and life irreversibly. It will cause more damage than you could ever imagine. Have you read/watched "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"? Please take my advice and DON'T GO FOR IT!!! galen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
