Just read your stuff and we always get a tree with roots. Actually we had the same tree for three year now. It lives in the garden the rest of the year, eventually we will plant it somewhere.
My aunty had severe depression with suicidal tendencies, I came all of a sudden and despite a lot of it being down to the death of her sister when she was young, they found that her brain got chemically imbalanced and no treatment seemed to work. They did the electro shocks on her brain (under anaesthesia not like in the movies). She had quite a few sessions and forgot a little bit of short term memory things but it completely cured her. She is back to herself and it really did miracles for her.
It was so shocked when I heard about the treatment. But it's really not like in the movies, and I have no doubt she wouldn't be with us and would have succeeded in committing suicide if it wasn't for it.
She is my favourite auntie, very bubbly but she had completely lost it.
I am not sure what your aunt situation is and if it is needed in her case but it can work. And long term memory loss is very rare, usually only short teen stuff.
Oh and Suz- scan is Tuesday at 10:30. Getting the combined NT stuff with the blood test. I hope I get some good pics/ video!!
