thanks
my psychiatrist is in the process of contacting the head of ECT treatment at a major hospital and a neurologist that he knows in order to try to figure out what's going on. i have to give props to my psych guy, i really do believe that he cares about me.
i'm 99.9% sure that my problems are being caused entirely by how ECT affected the way my brain works, based on the timelines of what happened and my overall experiences. it's within the realm of possibility that i'm wrong, but i think that if you could experience what i've experienced you'd see it the same way.
