Sarah I am so sorry that you have had so many complications from ECT. I have only had a few minor memory problems that have been relatively easy to adjust to. For instance I have a problem remembering things for short term unless I go over it repeatedly in my head. But I feel this is a small price to pay for the relief from depression I have gotten. My doctor is a very caring person and does not suggest ECT as a first course of treatment. She only uses it as a last resort and has helped me through the problems of memory loss and helped me find ways to deal effectively with it.
