Someone close to me did ECT for half a year after ketamine (in a clinical setting) became less effective.

The memory loss was worse than they were led to believe: near-dementia levels of short-term memory loss during treatment, and still now a year of missing memories from around the time of treatment.

The treatment itself left them without time or energy to do anything whatsoever on the days of treatment, and still weakened on the days off treatment.

And, it did seemingly nothing to address their depression.

So, YMMV.
