I have had two courses of ECT. After the last initial sequence, 3 times a week for 8 to 10 sessions, I had ECT once a week for 3 months. My memory loss was minimal, forgetting things like the town now had a Panera restaurant -- but I regained that memory when I saw it again. You aren't going to forget people, just some events that are minor. Most memory losses are minor and return in time.
If I was severely depressed again, I would take ECT without hesitating.
