How much will you forget after having electroconvulsive shock therapy?
BambinaX
The amnesia of ECT is retrograde. That is, you only forget events that occurred before the treatment, not after. Sometimes you don't forget anything. You can forget a few hours to a few days.

In order to restart the heart, from asystole, drug therapy is usually required; such as epinephrine, vasopressin, or atropine. A shock may still be applied. If the heart is in arrhythmia, it will require a shock to reset the heart. CPR will not bring the heart back to a normal rhythm, or restart the heart. CPR will circulate oxygenated blood until help arrives to administer shocks or drug therapy.

My mother received shock therapy back in the late sixties,she had short term memory loss but seemed to come out of her depression for a short period of time,later we discovered she had a heart murmer that had not been detected before. We were always concerned that the shock therapy caused the heart conditions that gradually become more severe,she died at the age of 63 from a brain clot,we think it was all retlated to the treatmenta nd I would be very concerned for anyone who is thinking of getting this type of treatment...It is just speculation,but I would not have it EVER.
