Thank you for asking! The ECT helped tremendously, I'm so happy I did it. I believe the bipolar "component" of the depression is now mostly over. However, during this episode, a lot of things happened that triggered traumatic memories and emotions for me, which I now need to work through in therapy. I expect that will take a lot of time. But thanks to the ECT, at least I am now in a position to recognize those issues for what they are and work on resolving them. And those emotions don't feel like depression, they are actual emotions like sadness and grief, which, weird as it may sound, I'd much rather feel than be depressed.
