ECT with Kat

ECT with Kat

The Peripheral, host Justin sits down with Kat, who shares her deeply personal journey through treatment-resistant depression and her experience with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
Kat opens up about reaching a point where nothing else worked, leading her to ECT as a last-resort option. What followed was profound relief from her depression—but at a steep cost: extensive memory loss resembling amnesia, gaps in her personal history, and the challenge of piecing her life back together.
She candidly discusses:
The decision to pursue ECT and what the treatments were like
The devastating impact of memory erasure and retrograde/anterograde amnesia
Her long road to recovery, relearning her own life, and personal growth
Why she would never choose ECT again for herself
Her balanced perspective: not wanting to discourage others, as ECT can be life-saving for some people when other treatments fail
This episode explores the complexities of mental health treatments, the real human cost of side effects, and themes of resilience, acceptance, and moving forward after profound loss.
