Apart from the expected minor memory loss and confusion I find I have lost a lot of my self confidence. I was a ‘Lets try anything’ guy before the treatment but now I am nervous of trying something new.&nbsp;<BR />Has anyone else experienced this and/or did it wear off over time.</P> Sun, 27 Sep 2026 05:34:27 GMT Trev 2026-09-27T05:34:27Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/ect-side-effects/m-p/625862#M57823 <P>I am 69 and have had 7 treatments of ECT two months ago and feel that it has helped me a lot with my depression for which I still take the same medication for.
