I see Carrie Fisher the actress has come out to say that she has Electric Shock Therapy every month one time.

This works for her treatment resistant depression.

Not something offered to the rest of us?

ECT should still be available....but it's only used when all else fails.
It is not 100% effective and has some side effects as well.
Discuss it with your doctor to see if it's right for you.
I had it years ago...7 treatments. It didn't help!
