Summary
This was a happy and productive time. Increase in writing and work productivity. Explored theories for my illness, and did lots of music, reading, and socialising, with generally elevated mood. Diagnosis was revised again to bipolar disorder, well controlled on lithium. Further ECT continued as an out-patient; unilateral treatment has less affect on memory.
