I missed this first time round - I guess it was when I was going through my own depression.
I was very surprised to read a couple of years ago that ECT was still being used - we were brought up reading Sylvia Plath and believing it was a brutal and archaic form of punishment. But the differences between then and now are vast and it does seem to work.
Very sorry to hear about the physical problems following her last treatment. My Dad got a blood clot on his lung after knee surgery and had to go on Warfarin. It's very frightening. He also entered a very low period after the operation - not diagnosed as clinical depression, but probably something close. Being ill for a long time, especially with something so serious, is bound to have affect you rmental well-being.
I agree with what people said previously - you're being a great friend and cannot do any more. She is lucky to have you.
