ECT and memory loss
| Tue, 01-06-2004 - 3:26pm |
I was wondering if anyone has had ECT- shock therapy for their depression and suffered memory loss? I had the treatments over a 2 yr period (i think from 97-99)I have a terrible time with short-term memory and I get somewhat confused. Now my depression is back (again) and wonder if having the treatments was even worth it. Anyone experience the same thing? BTW, I'm 53. I know that just being depressed can cause memory issues, but, I'm not convinced that is the reason. Thanks for your time. Kathie
