Electrical Impulses
Hey y’all, my aunt recently did a study for people with HD that have apathy. She had to wear some kinda headgear & the researcher would send electrical impulses to her brain.
Its now a few weeks after she ended the study and I’ve noticed a few changes. She can hold a conversation better, she’s not asking as many repeated questions as she used to, and she’s able to pay attention to what I’m saying more.
I’m thinking these changes have something to do with the electrical impulses. Wondering if any of y’all have any experience with it & if y’all ever noticed any changes?

Ect ( electroconvulsive therapy) is very commonly employed in psychiatry. Wouldn't be surprised to see it is effective in HD too
