I did unilateral ECT. Didn't do a thing. Then they tried bilateral ECT. My cognitive capacities are fine, but for about two months afterwards, I forgot everything. Couldn't recognize friends, couldn't remember what my condo looked like, couldn't remember the names of roads. I spent three weeks inpatient doing bilateral ECT, so the cost to the insurance company must have been really high. As for my depression, I was suicidal again within weeks. What finally pulled me out were lamictal and DBT.
