While having my TMS treatment today, I inquired further about the down-side of ECT. The doctor treating me said that he advises patients and their families that they will have short-term memory loss during and for two weeks after their treatment- not longer. The temporary memory loss involves things like forgetting telephone numbers and where you have put things. You can't drive during the treatments, and not until two weeks after the last treatment.
