A recent study in AmJPsych showed that ECT actually causes less cognitive deficiencies, sometimes even improving cognition, than RTMS and is far more effective. They speculated that perhaps responders experience less cognitive problems with ECT than non-responders.
Sorry I can only post the abstract; I have a hard copy of the journal and the methods all make sense; there was no stretching the data to make it fit in this case.
