I have been having ECT for a little over a year now (with a hiatus in the winter). I have found that ECT impacted my sense of pattern and navigation. It is borne out by scientific examination of the electrode placement. These are the parts of the brain in which music appreciation and geographic navigation reside. I used to always have music going, now prefer silence. I used to be excellent and finding my way, now get lost in regions I've traveled hundreds of times. These two aspects of ECT have been more disturbing than the actual memory issues, though those exist, as well.
