Ya, ECT is scary and a hard decision. There are some people who don't have good stories. I didn't have any cognition problems (that's not usually a side effect) - I'm still as smart as I use to be :). But the memory problems (a common effect) could be an issue.
I suggest finding some unbiased information. There is the web & probably some books. My decision came from how miserable I was (caused by med trials that made me worse) and talking to some people that had done it (hearing first hand their positive stories). I would do it again if I ever became that bad.
Good luck.
