> Mags, when you decide to take ECT, please don't be discouraged if you find your memory affected a little. There's still problems with memories BUT the difficulties only occur with your most recent short-term memories.

You may feel foggy about what happened in the few days prior to treatment, so if there's anything you do want to stay in long-term, why not take this as an opportunity to write a sort of diary of things you'd like to remember (or even your daily routine) so when you reread it after treatment, you can say "oh right, I forgot that."

Dear IsoM,

Thanks.
