Not very.
I am profoundly sorry for your loss. I believe you.
The thing about ECT is that for some people, it is the only thing that works - although it is probably not statistically that successful on people who are medication-treatment-resistant.
Lots of people suffer no memory or cognitive impairment with ECT. I guess I was one of the "lucky" ones. I experienced no retrograde or anterograde amnesia.
So, how do you choose only those patients who will not experience any untoward cognitive changes?
I don't know.
What kind of ECT did you have?
Unilateral: Left or Right
Bilateral
Bitemporal
High or Low dose?Thanks.
