My 47 Year Old Brother Has Been Suffering From Rapid

My 47 year old brother has been suffering from rapid cycle bipolar for the last 27 years.
He is on the latest drugs. Still he has 2-4 episodes a year, it has been progressive and the highs and
Lows are extreme.
Over time his personality has slowly disappeared and he is more forgetful and less capable.
I'm concerned about the side effects of EST and what it may do to his already damaged brain.
Do we know anything about the long term effects? How much further damage would EST cause?
