My name is Allison or Alliy but I might not remember that tomorrow. I am 22 years old almost 23 and am a housewife who stumbles through mental illness one confusing, chaotic, messy day at a time. I have been diagnosed correctly after years of medications and doctors who would rather write me a script that listen to my distorted mumblings but that is beside the point. I was finally diagnosed as Major Depression Disorder with Psychosis which only happened after a minor nervous breakdown and a stint in a hospital. I was released yesterday after 6 days and 1 spent in the er trying to get a bed f

Hi folks, I'm new here and very sad. I had my first and last ECT (8 bi-lateral) and my retrograde memory loss hasn't returned. I had no short or long term memory issues during the treatments.

I've even started losing memories of people/facts/etc unless they are somehow brought to my attention (kinda like a very very early stage of Alhemeizers in a way?). Can't remember peoples names, words to songs (I'm a worship leader... Songs are my business), Cho

I am checking into the hospital today for another series of ECT. My last series was last December, so not that long ago, and I was in the hospital about 6 weeks. This time after I am done I will go in about once a month for just one ECT and hopefully that will keep me better. Last time I lost a lot of memory and husband says that it took about 3 weeks after I got home before I was able to form regular memory and be able to read and understand what was going on. I still don't remember most of last year. But it was worth getting the ECTs even with the memory loss. I have run out of medic
