I do ECT every 2 weeks and have for the past 2 yrs.....I'm guess I'm afraid to stop. I have had some memory issues from in the past but short term memory doesn't seem to be affected. I can still do my job right after having a treatment, which is the most important thing to me. I did go 6 weeks without a treatment and really regretted it. I still take my meds and do therapy but I have to say that ECT has literally saved my life.
