Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is mainly used to manage major depressive disorder, and one of the side effects of this treatment is temporary anterograde amnesia, where individuals have difficulty remembering recent events or new information. Positive symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions, are not treated with ECT. Retrograde amnesia refers to difficulty remembering past events, which is not a common side effect of ECT.
