I have concluded my research of how Electroconvulsive Therapy reacts on an individual with HFA. My findings are as follows:

1.) Induces very severe memory loss. Short term and long term for 10 days post treatment.

2.) Induces Complex Partial Seizures post Electroconvulsive Therapy that last for more then 2 days.

3.) Experience sudden outburst of rage and severe confusion.

4.) Induces severe nightmares.

5.) Causes severe and intense manic episodes.

Based off my experience I would not advise someone with FHA to have Electroconvulsive Therapy.

I would also add insomnia.

That all sounds extremely horrible. I hope that those terrible effects are going away and you are starting to feel better.
