Hello, I would like to have contact with
someoe out there who can help me. I
currently am helping a loved one come back
to her world after several of these
treatments. I am finding out that memory
of recent events is not as prevalent as
memory of past. It is a challenge. As my
loved one was hospitalized, we could see
that the memory wasn't there from one day
to the next, some things might be
remembered and some not. I have been
trying to help and would love to hear from
someone who has helped with this before.
There doesn't seem to be anyone out there
that is willing to talk or maybe I just
haven't found that person yet. Thank yu
in advance for ay help you can give.

Ect has some side effects, including
short-term memory loss. In some patients,
the side effects of this treatment may be
outweighed by the benefits.
After treatment, doctors may suggest
maintenance treatment with medication or
psychotherapy.
Approaching your psychiatrist or clinical
psychologist is what I suggest for the
cure of this type of problem.
