Thank you. My wife and mother are really apprehensive over me consenting to the treatment (my mum got immediately squeamish when I tried to explain the process to reassure her that the team knows what they are doing)... my stepdad on the other hand is fascinated heh.

Journaling it on line is helpful for me in case I have items go missing, like my notepad and iPad etc.

The main concern I have is that they’ve cold turkeyed one of medications that acts as a mood stabiliser but is also an anticonvulsant. I attempted to come off it myself over a month back for a separate medical reason and the withdrawal plummeted my depression and led to the hospital stay in the first place. I’ve been ‘reassured’ that I’m being monitored closely (15 minute observations suck) to be at hand for any adverse effects that may have.
