Retrograde amnesia after electroconvulsive therapy: A temporary effect?
Retrograde amnesia after electroconvulsive therapy: A temporary effect? is a scholarly work by Martijn Meeter, Jaap Murre, Steve M J Janssen, and Walter van den Broek, published in 2011 in ''Journal of Affective Disorders''. The main subjects of the publication include depression, memory disorder, retrograde amnesia, medicine, cognitive disorder, psychiatry, psychology, anterograde amnesia, Management of depression, anaesthesia, bipolar disorder, amnesia, and electroconvulsive therapy. The results are consistent with the possibility that ECT as currently practiced does not cause significant lasting retrograde amnesia, but that amnesia is mostly temporary and related to the period of impairment immediately following ECT.
