Post ECT: brain damage, cognitive impairment and severe memory loss.

Posted by koerth @koerth, Mar 20, 2023

Are there others living with post ECT repercussions after the brain should have cleared, such as: cognitive decline, severe short term and long term memory loss, and disability?
It has been two years since I was subjected to ECT and all the while I hoped my brain would “clear” as the doctor said it would. It has not. I have gone on disability and things continue to decline for me. In addition I did not reap positive effects in the form of relief from depression.
It has not been a win and I am now wondering if I have early onset of dementia. I cannot find good information online re this and hoped someone in this community might see this. Thank you.

Jag känner igen mig väldigt där. Det var 20år sedan och återfick aldrig minnet helt. Jag har stora problem med minnet, det jag kommer ihåg är trauman jag varit med om och det mesta är borta flera år av mitt liv är utraderat. Har fått mer problem nu tycker jag allt. Är det ectn kombinerat med nya trauman eller är det demens?
Det tog inte bort depression och det finns inget positiv med den behandling för min del.
Någon hjälp angående detta får jag inte
