I'm currently brainstorming a novel about a Vietnam veteran dealing with his PTSD and depression. At one point, he'll be admitted to a psych hospital, and part of his treatment is electroconvultion therapy, which is basically inducing a seizure to bring about a permanent change in mood.
I'd like to have the seizure take place in first person, but my experiences with seizures are limited. How should I approach this? Are seizures bright lights and rapid images? Should I bother with coherent sentences?
