My father had this for suicidal depression. After each ECT he would expect my mother to be taking him home, but he had to be reminded that they were divorced. He forgot. It was not a pleasant experience and didn't seem to help him with his depression.

Did he remember his being divorced, eventually? Not the fact of being divorced, but the memories and feelings around it.
