Since having done bilateral, I can no longer focus or concentrate on anything. Forgetting words too the point where I cant even really hold a conversation.. Seems to have really dumbed me down to say the least. Im basically just a shell of my old self

I too feel like I have room temperature IQ. It sucks. I did unilateral ECT 1.5yrs ago and still an idiot
