Identity Loss after ECT (The Ghosts of ECT)

This video is for anyone who feels like they lost a part of themselves after ECT.

I want to give voice to the unseen challenges so many face after electroconvulsive therapy. Many who’ve had ECT are living with undiagnosed, untreated disabilities—struggling to find acknowledgment and support. The aftermath of ECT can be life-changing, impacting everything—identity, career, and relationships. I created this video essay to process my own experience of becoming disabled after ECT.

My hope is that it will help you know that your experience is real and you are not alone.
