My good memory still didn't come back.
>If you are, you might experience an unexpected improvement in your memory when your depression resolves. Otherwise, you can begin to look into Alzheimer drugs. Memantine and acetylcholine cholinesterase inhibitors are currently available. I once tried Aricept. No magic. But then, again, my impairments were not generated by ECT.
Thank you for your concern.
Can Alzheimer drugs work against ECT-induced memory problems?> The older one gets, the more depression manifests as dementia.
Isn't it diffucult to distinguish depression from dementia in old people?
