Mine are mostly related to reading. Prior to ECT, I never had any problem with it. For two years after ECT, I couldn't read at all. It's gotten a bit better, but I'm still not able to comprehend a lot of books I would've had no problem with before.

Also, in addition to straight memory loss for the duration of time I was having ECT and most of the 5 years preceding it, I also now have deficits in working memory. Basically, I can't hold multiple pieces of new information in my mind, so multitasking is basically impossible. This is also something I was good at prior to ECT.
