Back from ECT and Hospitalization

I'm back from a week of hospitalization (my fourth in the past two months) and two Electro-Convulsive Therapy (ECT) sessions.  ECT uses electricity to create convulsion in the body with the charge past through the skull.  It is old school shock therapy.


Going back in tomorrow for #3 out of what will probably 20-30 events in total.  


On my first ECT, about two hours after the shocking, I hade a made mania event.  I threatened everyone on the floor and my wife was turned away because they they thought that I was too violent.  I do not even remember anything of that day.






in the body.  The electricity is placed on the shocking
