Thank you Chris for your honesty- I already have cognitive problems from a head injury so that is my major concern with ECT. The drs. claim there is some short term memory impairment but that was the only negative they cited. Are you treatment resistant also? When you mentioned you aced your boards, does that mean you are functioning intellectually at the same level you were before the ECT? How about the name-face recognition, has that improved? Since I am already functioning below the level I was before my head injury, I have had extensive neuropsych testing, I am concerned about making it worse. Thank you again for your response.
