The Bipolarity Pod

003 - Amy, USA, Bipolar Type 1

Episode Summary

Amy was my first guest I talked with about ECT. It was effective in her case, as after 11 years living with treatment-resistant bipolar psychosis, she found that after a few sessions of ECT she had a large improvement and stability she hadn't felt before. A great mythbusting episode about what modern ECT is, isn't, and a good case study on how mental health and mental health treatments can still be misunderstood.
