And for some people, this memory loss can be permanent.

It's much more common with bilateral treatment rather than unilateral treatment.

Yes.

Um, and you can tell as soon as you start reading a paper if this is someone who's like super pro ECT or actually anti-ECT.

And I read a paper by someone, it was actually a commentary, um, but it wasn't a peer-reviewed journal, but
