> Keeping my fingers crossed for you and your sister!Thanks so much Maxime! I'm just so happy for her because it might soon be my only option. One of my sisters refused it a few years back. This one didn't. Both parents and all 4 siblings suffer from one mental illness or another.
Have you had it? The doctors said this new ultra brief unilateral treatment gets better as it goes along not worse like it used to. They said this will be by far the worst and all other treatments will be better. If your cognition isn't messed up by this first one then you should be fine from here on in. Let's hope so!
