Children, electrosmog and memory

I have a young friend who let me know an inside “secret”. He told me that his friends are astounded at how they don’t remember anything, sometimes even the simplest things. They comment on it as a type of “secret”. They are in their early 20’s and know that a failing memory is generally an issue of aging.
Electroshock therapy has been used to “erase” memories so that the psychiatric patient can calm down. It is possible we are receiving so much electricity that we are “shocking” our memory and now suffer the same consequence as this abusive style of therapy?
