A friend of mine had ECT. It helped his depression quite a bit. I think he had some short-term memory loss. He would get a maintenance dose about every six weeks. Then he needed them less frequently.
Undercurrents by Martha Manning has a detailed account of her ECT experience. The book is one of the best depression memoirs I've read.
