> So sorry to hear that you are still suffering with that. I guess I am fortunate in that I decided not to do it, but everytime I sink low my p-doc brings it up, and now I feel like, do they really care? Or is it fix the problem at whatever cost?

I wouldn't blame your doctor for acting on the information he was taught.

It might be quite awhile before a consensus is arrived at regarding ECT and the pervasiveness and persistence of cognitive side effects.

I went through a series of 15 ECT treatments. I would not do it again. Of course, that it didn't work figures into my decision. The last 9 treatments were bilateral. For me, the cognitive side effects were pronounced and lasted for at least a month. Measurable deficits might have lasted quite a bit longer.
