Hi there!
I will be 27 years old in a few days and I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder II around 2 years ago, my doctor says that my illness is pretty strong to the medicine and he is considering Electroconvulsive therapy .
I would like to know what is your personal experience with the treatment and if the memory lost is something that it gets worst with time …is it going to interfere with school? is that going to dull my intelligence?
thank you for your time and consideration on answer this question
