Abstract
Few tests address the types of memory problem commonly reported after electroconvulsive therapy
(ECT). Here, we focus on the importance of neuropsychological assessment in ECT-treated patients
and describe a number of tasks that may be useful in measuring the everyday memory problems of
such patients with ongoing memory difficulties. At the time of writing, no attempts have been made
to rehabilitate patients who experience persistent adverse cognitive effects, but clinicians should be
aware of the potential beneficial role of cognitive rehabilitation in the treatment and management of
these effects.
