  • I thought Dr. Basovic was incredible. She listened to everything. This is a complex issue. She's trying to help me. She explained to me and I liked her procedure. She wants to look at the structure of my brain, the EEG. She wants to get imaging. Awesome. Working on the psychology piece. [redacted] I totally trust her. This medication list is a mess.
