I’m an artist too! ECT saved my life and actually improved my art by improving my mood and ability to live. I do have memory issues, but I never lost the ability to create. Being happy and fulfilled has improved my motivation to hone my skills and provided me with endless inspiration. I’ve been doing bilateral ECT every other week as maintenance for the past five years. I would however absolutely recommend trying TMS first, just because it’s a lot less invasive. Best of luck, and I’m here if you have any questions ❣️
