after too many failed medication trials to mention, my doctor is recommending outpatient ECT. i have depression - no enjoyment or pleasure in anything, low motivation, sleepy, mostly irritable but sometimes pervasive sadness in place of the irritability. i still go to work every day and manage to function ok on my job. my doctor says that there are no documented cases of memory loss or cognitve impairment as a result of ECT, but after reading previous posts on this board, that's a serious concern of mine. please post experiences with ECT, whether they were good or bad.
