What has your experience with it. And how long do you have to stay at the hospital?
I was already hospitalized when I had my ECT sessions. I think that you can have outpatient ECT these days?

Memory. Yeah. I have trouble remembering names of university friends and profs.

But I responded well to the treatments. I can’t say that the ECT is responsible for my current memory loss — I may just be old.
