Daughter has suicidal ideation

Hello, I feel your pain. My granddaughter has had issues since she was 15 and would run away, not seeming to fit into life like others her age. Finally, we received a clear diagnosis after she had an episode where she was hearing voices telling her to go and get the babies. She has had long episodes of depression. After being diagnosed as Bipolar she did not like the way she felt on medication, stop taking it, have more episodes and finally became suicidally depressed. She had ET for several months, first three times a week, then twice and then once a week. She is no longer depressed if she would just stay on her medication. She managed to become certified as a dental assistant but has been sitting at her grandmothers now for a year since the depression lifted. Now she is finally starting to drive again and will have a therapist who can help her set goals for herself, so she can build her self-esteem. My granddaughter is now 24. She has started a small job where she cares for babies in a day care close to where she lives. Let's all pray she can continue to build on her life/self to sometime soon have a wonderful meaningful life filled with happiness. The ET did the job to help her get over her depression. I hope this helps you...

urbanjane,
Does ET mean the same as ECT -electric convulsive therapy?
