**People with higher IQ probably don't sustain any less brain damamge, its more likely that they have more connections to rely on when some are damaged**
So true; I had been tested in the past and found to have very superior intelligence. My ECt doc even said I probably lost 10 to 20 points in IQ, but since I had cognitive reserve, I should be okay. I cry every time I think about this. I care that my IQ has dropped that much after only 7 unilateral ECT treatments. It sucks big time.
