You are correct in stating "good and bad" experiences but that can be said of meds as well?
I had a 2 week course of ECT in 1989 and yes, short-term memory loss was apparent, according to my family members!!
Looking back, I suppose it helped in the long run as I remained stable for some 10 years on anafranil.
My current p/doc is pro ECT but I've yet to reach that level again. I would accept the treatment if I had exhausted all options.... I have no negative long-term effects from ECT so if you and your p/doc feel it's a positive treatment option then I'd say listen to your doctor?
Best of luck,
Regards, Rick
