I have had severe to moderate major depression for many years, taken many medications and had ECT treatments. I have some really large gaps in my memory--sometimes several years are totally unremembered. Occassionally I will remember something specific if helped by someone else who was there, but sometimes even this is not enough and the memories are just NOT there (unrecoverable).
My question is: Has anyone else experienced memory loss like this with their depression?
I have been told by a number of therapists/psychiatrists that my memory loss is due to the depression and not ECT but sometimes I question that...
