I had more than 30 ECT treatments between a period of 12-15 years ago and I too live with major memory loss and the inability to learn new things and have them stick in my brain. I had the treatments because of MDD and although it helped my depression at the time it has left me with major memory issues that I too thought I may have dementia issues. I am currently on disability for depression but can no longer remember aspects of my job, I cannot remember experiences from a week prior and have no recollection and feel as though I am being gaslighted, it’s very frustrating and frightening. I have spoken to my family doctor, my psychiatrist and my psychologist about this issue and no one has suggested that I see a neurologist but after reading that I am not the only one who is living with these memory issues I will certainly be asking my family doctor and psychiatrist tomorrow.
