Scott,
It's probably not saying much coming from me but you come across as so intelligent and articulate in your notes, if ECT has done any damage then you must have had the mental capacity of Einstein before having the ECT!
But I spose there are different ways it can affect your mental functioning. All I know is that when I'm really bad I really struggle to even digest a sentence and yet you seem to be able to dish out all these facts and figures.
As far as the guy who had to relearn to read music all over again goes, well at least he had the motivation to do it. I'd rather lose the memory but have my motivation back to want to do things in the first place if medication wastn't helping at all. Where there's a will there's a way but where there's no will then there's no way.
What have the downfalls of ECT been as far as you are concerned? Did people you know notice a change? My mum hates it when I even bring the subject of it up.
