I'm in the midst of my fourth round of ECT over a period of 23 years. This time we are doing them unilaterally to minimize memory loss and other cognitive problems. We are also scheduluing them farther apart. Subjectively I thought I had a lot of cognitive problems from when I had them in '92 - permanent memory loss, name-face-recognition difficulties, etc. I took professional boards a year after the last ones and aced them, though. Perhaps some of my perceived difficulties were just that. It's hard decision to make. I did have a couple of hours of aphasia following my treatment a couple of days ago, but it resolved in a couple of hours. At this point I plan to do maintenance ECT.
