Um, and the recommendations on maintenance therapy are not clear-cut by any means.
Yeah.
And of course, there are definite side effects to ECT.
Yes.
Yes.
There are minor side effects that often don't even get mentioned.
because they're considered so minor, but these might be things like headache or muscle aches, especially actually from the succinylcholine, because it causes those twitchings at first.
So you might actually get muscle aches from that, which is so interesting.
Uh nausea, which is usually from the general anesthetic more than anything.
These are all typically very easily controlled with things like anti-emetics and like acetamenophen over-the-counter medications.
And that's why I think no one really talks about those, but those are definitely post-procedural side effects.
But it's the cognitive effects and specifically the memory effects that are the main complication of ECT.
Yeah.
And these can happen actually on a few different timescales.
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.
