I am currently having ECT once a month. I started May a year ago 3 times a week for about 10-12 session. Then once a week, every other week, every third week and now once every four weeks. It has really helped me and I have very little memory problems .. I would say none but how do you know if you don't know something LOL. They use as little power as possible, you are under anesthesia so you don't even know that anything happened.

When I started, I went to my pdoc and asked for ECT as I was so suicidal I was afraid I would do it. It was a good choice. I still take my medication but notice a slight drop in my mood the last week before ECT. I would be willing to continue ECT indefinitely because it is so helpful for me as it keeps the depression away.
