Marie Osmond Almost Had Electric Shock Treatments

It still freaks me out when I think of the episode of Mad Men where Alexis Bledel gets electric shock treatment and has no idea who Vincent Kartheiser is when she sees him. That possibility of memory loss is exactly why Marie Osmond chose not to undergo electric shock therapy after the suicide of her son. She was admitted to a hospital which uses the treatment and Marie initially had wanted it according to a story in The National Enquirer. She was so depressed that she felt it would be the only way to snap her out of her depression. She ultimately decided against it because she was afraid of forgetting all of her song lyrics. Well, I guess that is a good reason. I just think it is a horrible treatment. I'm sure it must work in some specific cases, but to lose your memory and who you are, seems rough.
