I had 11 bilateral ECTs. I haven't noticed any cognitive deficits or memory loss whatsoever. The only side effect I noticed was feeling groggy the day of treatment. I think it depends on the facility, doctor, and machine used.
I had my treatments done in the USA - I relapsed after 2 weeks. Maintenance treatment here is highly encouraged for that reason. Most people get maintenance for 6 months (so I hear) then taper off of it.
