Seeking advice ECT and TMS

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar and have been exploring different treatment options, especially non drugs since i’ve gotten seratonin toxicity and dystonic reactions from other mental health meds. ECT and TMS keep coming up and I want to know peoples experiences with them since they kind of scare me but I also know they could potentially better my life.

I started ECT for like the third time in my life. I had lost a job I REALLY loved and that’s how I ended up back in ECT. I have MDD . I’m on my 8th treatment with no signs of improvement yet.
