I just had my 6th unilateral electroconvulsive therapy treatment two days ago for treatment of a rolling series of major depressive episodes that has gone on for the last two years. After multiple unsuccessful medication trials, my doctors and I decided we should give this a go. I was wondering if I could relay my experience with it to see whether what I am experiencing is "normal."

I have noticed that while I don't have any major memory loss, I do notice that settings that are very familiar to me (home, work, etc.) seem vaguely foreign to me, a bit strange, even two days after treatment. I have to admit that this is a little anxiety-producing. Based on any of your experiences with ECT, does sound familiar? Does it go away?

Thanks for your feedback!
