Br J Psychiatry 1980 Jul;137:17-25
Author(s):Freeman CP; Weeks D; Kendell RE

Abstract: Twenty-six subjects who complained of permanent unwanted effects following ECT were compared with two groups of control subjects on a battery of 19 cognitive tests. Many statistically significant differences were found in Abstract: cognitive functioning, mostly attributable to the level of depression or medication in the complainers. However, after analysis of variance/co-variance some differences still remained, indicating impaired cognitive functioning in the ECT complaining group.
