I'm looking for answers. . . . the discussion about James Taylor's fire and
rain led me to thinking about asking the list for advice.. . Anyone who
responds can do so privately. . . as this is not directly related to Joni.
I will try to be brief. Jerry interpreted "fire and rain" to mean extreme
highs and lows.
My question:
My mom has had manic depression all of my life (they call it bipolar
disorder now). The medications are not working for her and are causing her
kidney damage. I rarely trust the medications.
She is presently hopitalized, this time for 2 months. . . in order to have
the possibility of her resuming a near normal life and to go home the
psychiatrist (and I don't generally trust psychiatrists, usually I don't) is
suggesting ECT (electro-convulsive shock treatment).. . I abhor the idea.
She had them when I was a child and said that they helped her. . .
I wont get into all of this now,
but if anyone has any information or opinions, pro or con, please email me.
I don't know what else to do.
Thanks
I trust your opinions.
Marianne
