Yup...ECT has never been good for the brain. It used to be called EST (Electro-Shock-Treatment), and was understood to induce brain damage; this whole "ECT is awesome for your brain" revisionism started in the 70s/80s. It was also referred to as "annihilation therapy," if that gives you any indication of the sorts of results shrinks were pursuing.
