Can An ECT Cause Catatonia, Emotional Flatness And Apathy?

I had ECT done to my brain in Jan.-Feb. of 1998. I have been like a catatonic zombie-walking lobotomy ever since. It was forced against my will. I have dents in my upper arms and broken teeth. Also it destroys brain matter over time. I can feel the shocks from my feet to my head in all parts of my body. I have been to different doctors and psychiatrists and even healing masses (catholic). Do you have experience at all with this sort of thing? Because I no longer exist.
