If anything she's actually gone backwards a bit.I wonder if she seems like she is going backwards because she got that "normal" level of ECT rather than the lower level. It is hard on the body and the brain and it does take time to recover. I believe I had the "normal" range of treatments--it was not fun and I did look like hell for awhile afterwards. I really do encourage you to go with your sister to her doctor appt--ask all your questions, express all your concerns about your sister, especially the possibility that she is going backwards. Maybe it isn't working for her, and you'd certainly want to know that now if at all possible rather than down the road.
Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers....ruby
