I had ect in croatia, europe... 7 years later now i have problems making new memories. After treatmant i completely forgot 2 years of life before that treatmant. I had cognitive loss obvious 100% Namely, when i came to clinic i had test of repeating random words pychologist state. I had 11 out of 12.. After therapy i had 4 out of 12 I had to read 3 times same sentence to understand it and i could not add two numbers if there are 2 digit numbers So, psychiatrist should stop that campaigne of ect being so benign, obviously they falsificate those "researches" about memory impacts. If it does not effect memory and cognitive funkcioning them how do i have these syptoms?
Question: does ECT also work for patients with strictly delusional psychopathology? By this I mean patients who do not have any clear psychotic symptoms in terms of hallucinations (visual, auditory, sensory), but only have 'delusional ideas' such as - the constant belief that they are pregnant or have some sort of disease that is medically proven to not be the case. - paranoid thoughts that are proven to be untrue (like believing there's poison in their food or their medication may be poison, or believing that someone is watching them with a camera, or that people on the TV are specifically talking about them, the belief that their partner may be cheating, the belief that they are God or a prophet or something, etc. etc.)
I had over ECT treaments in early 2021, I still have no memory of late 2019- end of 2021. I have to be told to this day about events and basic life events.

Does not work for delusions or personality disorders. I'm not an expert, just reading a lot of papers on it at the moment.
@@DoctorJammer What about people who have DPDR (Depersonalization/Derealization)? Do you think it might work?

Your memories don't come back anymore?

May I ask how old you are and what your biological gender is? I just started RUL ECT which is supposed to have less memory side effects.
