I would never consent to ECT. You don't know how you will respond to it and memory loss is almost a sure thing.
Although while I was in the hospital I saw a number of patients improve from ECT. It was like they were waking up.
I also know someone who had ECT and memory loss. But it cured her and she said that she can handle the memory loss and that the depression would have killed her.
It's hard to know what to do really.
