I just could not recall why i was in thehospital but the memory came back after an hour or so. Im still takaing meds now bbut the amounthhave been reduced. I think u should consult another trepist if u insist on doing ect. Be strong k. May your low mood be behind u soon.

Have you experienced any side effects like short term memory loss? Did you try meds before trying ECT? Just curious as I have drug resistant depression and my psychiatrist and psychologist don't think ECT is a good alternative for me. Thanks for sharing!
