SERVERE MEMORY LOSS - ECT TREATMENTS

[@paulmillich8934]

I can understand the frustration of memory loss. Large chunks of my childhood are simply not remembered. Don't fret too much about not being able to recall events. I'm happy/relieved I don't have clear memories of all life's’ activities. I wish you a peaceful Easter.

[@VinVlogger]

Thank you Paul.

[@aikaterineillt9876]

I don’t want to forget anything, thanks.

I never regained full memory after ECT even worse i had ect befor 25 when brain is fully developed it is barbaric and should be baned

[@IsakuItou]

Can you use ECT to forget your loved one? In your opinion?

[@thaisdantas3177]

hello how was this memory loss? retrograde, anterograde? lost the memory of days, months, years? Lost parts or total?

[@maheshnm275]

Retrogade​@@thaisdantas3177

[@siddigfan]

After I was in the hospital for a month of ECTS, I still have my treatment resistant major depression for which I'm on medication. I lost 5 years of memory from the past and a long period from after the treatment. It's been 15 years since and I still don't remember. It's very upsetting.

[@siddigfan]

I don't even remember being in the hospital. Or the birth of my grandchild. During the 1st treatment, I woke up under the anesthesia but though I wrote down what happened right away, how it felt, I now have no real memory of it due to the subsequent ECTS.

[@VinVlogger]

oh no... Yeah, I've lost core memories of my childhood, my best friends wedding, meeting my birthfamily and so on.

[@amandaspano9724]

Me to and continued for the past 6 years and didn’t work I was diagnosed with depression but had bipolar should of never did it :(

[@thaisdantas3177]

lost your memory?

[@iwoofyou1227]

I hope you are doing better. I did do ECT bc my psychiatrist said he had tried everything and I was treatment resistant. I took 2 sessions of 3 treatments per week for 2 weeks, outpatient. So a total of 12 treatments. After that I couldn't do anymore bc of the trauma of being put to sleep and crazy deranged psyco dreams I would have while doing them. My 1st session seamed to help my depression & was doing really well. Side effects were weird though. I couldn't drive because i couldn't remember which way was what, not even my own home. I couldn't write at all. Also memory loss. My depression slowly after a couple months went right down to where it was, so I did another session. Which started out fine and then it wasn't helping at all and I started having these dreams. So crazy it's practically impossible to describe them bc they were so psyco. They scared me so bad i I couldn't do the treatments anymore. Now all im stuck with now is the same depression, more ptsd, and you guessed it...more memory loss. My memory from the last 3ish years has been very spotty. I remember some things perfectly but not when it happened, some things sound kinda familiar, or I never remember it happening. Now I still don't sign my name the same way twice, i still get confused where things are when I'm driving, and I have to write everything on my calendar or notepad, tell someone right away or take someone with me. All this for nothing. But recently I have been put on 2 other meds that help alot & have found an awesome therapist that actually cares and has helped me get through a few childhood traumas so far!

Has your memory loss improved?

[@iwoofyou1227]

@@isaa-of5ec no. I just had to do a neuro psyc test. A very expensive test to find out if they can help with memory loss & a slew of other things. I hope you are ok. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@isaa-of5ec]

How many sessions did you have? Did you have mania and did it treat this?

[@clifffreeman9419]

How is you’re memory now?

[@wobblewobble7330]

Amazing 👍 I never had this treatment but I suffer all my life with a very poor memory long and short eg can’t remember I day at home sitting down with my parents having dinner etc etc or remembering what I did last week. Are these memories lost forever or can I get them beck? I’m in my 60s Thank you

[@alinalemanska2029]

Was it done to you inside a psychiatric hospital building or were you taken to a regular hospital for that. Francis Farmer had ECT done to her by force and she did not get her memory back. She wrote about her horror experience with forced treatments and being kept against her will in a psychiatric hospital for years.

[@VinVlogger]

Oh my goodness, that is awful. I have gotten some of my memory back, but other memories I still have lost. Luckily I have youtube to look back too and relive those positive experiences.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

This is my biggest fear of any treatment.

[@TLH21109]

I wish I couldn't remember anything

[@johnwadsworth7086]

ECT changed my hard drive.it added files,deleted files, memory loss and altered personality but for the most part I'm better off

[@VinVlogger]

That's so good to hear. I wish it had done the same for me, but it didn't.

[@brittanyl7984]

Do you think this treatment was effective?

[@VinVlogger]

Not at all...

[@thaisdantas3177]

Hello, I'm Brazilian, unfortunately I don't speak English, but from what I understand from the video, you did ect and lost your memory, right? If possible could you explain this memory loss to me? Retrograde? anterograde? days, months, years? Total or partial loss? did your memory come back?

[@kennyried8650]

After watching this video, I think they may have turned the machine up too long. Good luck. I hope you get better

[@VinVlogger]

Thank you. I'm no longer ECT. Now I am doing EMDR, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.

[@roothlesstoosterman]

I wonder if you are still suffering memory side effects.

[@MiguelMartinez-js4qe]

Hey Vin, hope your doing well, I just had my first and last ECT session three weeks ago. It wasn’t necessary to undergo treatment, my mental disorder wasn’t that bad, I had ADHD and mild psychosis. The experience felt hellish, you think I will recover spiritually, mentally and get my memory back?

[@VinVlogger]

You will recover, it just takes time.

[@maheshnm275]

Forced ECT is worse than death penalty

[@VinVlogger]

You think so?

[@SN-XZ]

Hi, I found your video and check in to ask if your memory came back later? It’s been 4 years.

[@VinVlogger]

heyy! Nice to meet you! Welcome to my channel. Yes, my memory is coming back in pieces.

I want to erase some memories in my memory somehow

[@VinVlogger]

THen ECT would be the way to go. But you shouldn't do it just to erase memories. It actually has been proven to help hundreds of thousands of people. Just not me...

[@c.brownell8618]

Say no to ECT

[@VinVlogger]

I have been the last 2 years. They keep pushing it on me, but I just keep saying no.

did you have unilateral or bilateral?

I had Bilateral.
