But for a man I know who was suicidally depressed and given ECT as a last resort, it did nothing to relieve his depression but destroyed some of his long-term memory.

My Mom underwent ECT in the 1970's... she is 67 and acts like she is 16.

I can relate. My mom underwent ECT in the 1970's too when she was misdiagnosed as being schizophrenic when, in retrospect, it was manic-depressive. She treats me as if I'm still 16 or younger.
