I get the magazine bp hope several times a year. This past month, they had readers write in about ECT. Most people wrote in and spoke about how ECT had affected thier memories and the effects were not worth the cost. I went to the site and the articles are not posted on it, but I wanted to share. A few did say it saved thier lives, but did mention some memory loss with it. Just wanted to let you know to make sure you discuss this with your doctors. I am no expert, but was shocked to read how many people who had it were upset with it.
