I have long term memory loss from multiple courses of ECT. I also have short term memory loss, most likely from meds. I am 59 years old. I cannot remember college, advanced degree, wedding, births and childhood of my children. I look at photos trying to jog my memory and sometimes it works. Most of the time though I have no recollection of the event pictured. Awful way to live... "mommy, remember when we...". "no, honey, I don't remember". Makes me want to cry.
