Yeah.
If it doesn't stop, then you give medications the same way you would with any other seizure that's lasting too long to stop that seizure.
And that does happen sometimes.
It also can happen where somebody maybe doesn't have a seizure.
And so then you might have to give a second dose or decide if you're going to increase um the amount of electricity to try and induce a seizure, or if someone had what's considered an inadequate, so less than 25 seconds of a seizure.
each oh, can I one thing that I'm guessing you might ask?

We usually see substantial improvement in symptoms within the first few sessions.
So within the first couple of weeks.
Yeah.
