I also agree with what Ryask and Blackpup posted.

That's a lot of money and I'm not sure what exactly they could do that would be worth $35,000/month? What is your pdoc's involvement with this program? Has he had patients with bipolar that have benefited from it? Can you speak to patients that have gone through the program?

It may be worthwhile to speak to a therapist regarding this, so you could get some impartial input on it. If you don't have a therapist already I would suggest finding someone that specializes with mood disorders.

You may also want to post a separate thread for your questions about ECT because I know a couple of our members have done sessions.
