I am sorry they affected your memory. I have heard they do for some people. I don't know what I would do because when the medications don't work and the therapy doesn't work they are what saves my life every time. Hope you are doing well.

How much does it help you?

Only for a couple of hours after the treatment. I have to focus harder when reading but otherwise no bad side-effects.

Autumn did they impair your memory.

I have done ECT off and on since 2003. Right now I am doing them on fridays only and believe me without them I would be inpatient right now. However, what works for one may not work for another. I've read horrible things about them from others but I can only post with my own experience and they really help. Starting a new series of them this coming friday. Best of luck
