The reason being that I think I can offer advice to people such as the newly diagnosed, and I could also use some advice myself sometimes haha. It’s good to be back!

It was great! Very mild memory problems though, but it bought me many months of stability and here’s the amazing thing I almost never hear voices anymore! Pretty crazy. I was lifted out of depression and was able to return to school full time.

Yes, actually! I used to be on two antipsychotics, two mood stabilizers (in very high doses), and two antidepressants. But after getting the ECT I have been able to go off the lithium and Lamictal. Now, I have one daily med (bupropion) and one monthly injection (Invega sustenna). I take Ativan very occasionally.
