There's a magnetic treatment my Pdoc recommended. Only problem they didn't take ins and it was going to cost $4000.
I had memory loss before the ECT. My last episode was one of my worst. In and out of ip for months.
But I have old books here I've read. I looked at them and reread a few and remembered the plots.
I do believe ECT is a last resort. But also some of the meds at certain doses could certainly cause damage.
But BP probably damages the brain during extremely bad episodes.
