Jacqui Quibbell has suffered from'crippling periods of depression and suicidal thoughts' for all her adult life. In 2003, her doctors suggested Jacqui underwent electro-convulsive therapy (ECT). This involves attaching electrodes to the patient's head and, under general anaesthetic, passing electric shocks through their brain -- which is said to'rewire' it. 'I didn't know much about ECT, I didn't have Google then,' says Jacqui, 57. 'I started suffering memory loss during the treatment and by the time it finished, my short-term memory had disappeared completely and has never come back.
