ECT didn't help, but now I have memory issues

Anyone else have ECT done and it didn’t help but you have memory and cognitive issues now? I had 14 rounds 3 years ago and my memory is only getting a little better.

have you found anything that helps with your memory? or seen any specialists? i assume it would be similar to who someone would see for a tbi but my doctor says my memory at this point is a cause of my bipolar and anxiety and the meds that i was on for a few years and just stopped (lithium). so idk what to do but i’m still in school so it makes it so hard to learn :(

How much does Bipolar 2 affect memory? Mine is literally AWFUL! My psychiatrist says it’s just due to my anxiety and that my brain has a lot going on and that it can’t be my medication, but I’m SO forgetful it’s scary. And I don’t have ADD or ADHD

according to my psychiatrist, it really does affect it. especially in (hypo)mania. my psych says it’s due to anxiety as well and my meds, but i think it’s from ect too. i don’t have adhd or add either but i took a legit diagnostic test (Qb) at a psych firm last week and they gave me the diagnosis…
