Abstract
In this study memory changes during and after electroconvulsive therapy were investigated by means of three different tests. The investigation was double-blind and the subjects were 96 patients hospitalized with depressive illness. Amounts of post-ECT amnesia were evaluated in relation to number of treatments for symptom remission and stability of the therapeutic result over the period of one year.Keywords
