Immediately after the procedure, people are going to be a little bit confused.
That's from the seizure itself, and that's also from coming out of anesthesia.
But this is something that usually only lasts a few minutes, maybe like 30 minutes or so.
Some people might have a harder time coming out of anesthesia.
They might even get a little bit agitated, but this is pretty rare.
And it's usually just the first 30 minutes where people are quite confused about what just happened.
The first couple of weeks, some people might have problems with attention or things like executive functioning, like being able to do the kind of high-level tasks that you might have to do to say run a household or something like that.
But what's really interesting is that most of the data on most aspects of cognitive function are that they actually improve after ECT.
In the long term.
In the long term.
Exactly.
And we don't know why that is, except that maybe it's because we've improved the depressive symptoms, especially, right?
And that depression has a huge impact on cognitive functioning.
But memory is a different story.
Yes.
And there's two types of memory loss that can happen with ECT.
There's something called anterograde amnesia.
And that's difficulty retaining new information after the procedure.
So, like you do the procedure, you go home and you're like, I don't know where I put my keys today.
I can't remember what's on the schedule for today.
