ECT also has its specific side effects and complications. The common complications of modern modified electroconvulsive therapy are headache, nausea, vomiting and reversible memory loss.

However, it is generally believed that the effect of electroconvulsive therapy on memory is limited and usually only temporary. Clinically, these symptoms generally get better without treatment.

Extended data:

Before electrotherapy, you should ensure the quality of sleep, adequate nutrition and absorption of water. Electrotherapy will produce electrochemical effect on human body, which is ionization in physics.

If there is not enough moisture and nutrition, after a long time, at least over 1 hour of micro-current electrotherapy will play the role of electrotherapy collapse and eliminate the side effects of electrotherapy.

The key is to have a proper rest during long-term electrotherapy. After electrotherapy for 30 minutes, take a short rest and replenish water for 2 hours. Adequate nutrition should be supplemented after electrotherapy.
