The neurological dammage of ECT has been the subject of many studies. Some well respected and independant researchers found minimal dammage when the procedure was done in certain ways.
But to be honest I would prefer SST (psychosurgery) to ECT.
SST, in general is more effective than ECT, generally leaves no memory loss. Its effects on affective disorders are much longer lasting.
