Julie Hersh, a Mom, successful business person and community volunteer, landed in a psychiatric ward awaiting her first round of ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). She recovered, but the experience set her on a quest of understanding her own brain function so she could prevent the recurrence of clinical depression. Hersh’s book Struck by Living, details this experience. www.struckbyliving.com (http://www.struckbyliving.com)
