@Frustrated Reader That was a great analysis of the condition; the only thing wrong is that ECT has never been used for epilepsy, it's generally used for depression which doesn't respond to meds or psycho-therapy. You may be thinking of EEG, which is a reading of brain waves done by attaching electrodes to the scalp. The results were once 'drawn' on paper but are now on computer. MRI's are also extremely useful.
The OP also needs to know more about the meds used at that time. Sometimes these cause secondary illnesses. The prevailing social attitude to the condition in the 1940s would also need to be researched. I would imagine that it was still strongly linked with insanity in the mind of the general public, and that people with the condition would be in asylums.
Maybe a less complex condition would suffice?
