I never had it but was in a therapy group where a young college student had it. She was extremely upset as she couldn't return to college due to memory. I questioned my pdoc the one who prescribed it for her. He said to me that it is only done when one is so suicidal they have no other choice. I asked about her memory as It upset me. He thought it would return in about three months. The other time working in psych and went to ECT with a patient. Afterward he didn't remember a thing. As to what happened to him no idea as I switched hospitals to learn other skills. As this was my first job and thought I should work in a medical setting first. Phillipa
