My mom had the nastiest breakdown / depression in '81. She was in bad shape. I met my aunt at my mothers and we got her to the hospital. I don't remember the nature of her treatments but 6 sticks in my tiny brain.
I was scared because I knew nothing about mental illness. I called half a dozen psychiatrists trying to get info on ect. None took my call.
My two older brother didn't think she was the same after treatment. I didn't notice that much but I go with their observations.
Her depression would not allow time for pills to kick in.
I was in her hospital room not long after her treatment and a nurse came in. My mom is pointing at us and saying you two (basically should hook up.) I laughed but was horrified because that wasn't my mom at all.
I've had a hard life..my mothers was worse. Well, maybe a tie.
If I was in the shape that she was, yes, hook me up. Her memory after a short time was back to normal. I have the worst memory and that's before meds.How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
