From what I was told and learned when I was being scheduled for ECT was that it had changed a lot over the years and did a lot less "collateral damage". That I would only be out for a matter of seconds and all they were doing was causing me to have a seizure.
I was all set for a month's worth but backed out at the last minute so I can't speak from experience on the memory issue. The doctors, though, had reassured me the impact would be minimal - certainly not as bad as in the early days of ECT.
