Does anyone have experience of ECT for PND?

My sister had ECT. Her MH issues started with PND and then moved onto severe long-term depression. The ECT was done against her will when she was sectioned. It has helped the depression but it seriously affected her memory.

I had ECT 33 years ago. It saved my life. I'm lucky that my doc realised That nothing else was working, and recommended the maximum course at the time, twice a week for six weeks. From the point of suicide, I was my old self by the end of the treatment, with no side effects.
