Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 In mechanical terms it is often said " If it wont work -hit it with a big hammer! " Orthodox medicines answer is--- Modern ECT is a far cry from the treatment depicted in the movies as a form of punishment or mind control -- it is conducted under anesthesia and studies have repeatedly found that it is the most effective treatment for depression which hasn't responded to medications. Psychotherapy may also be needed for emotional support during the depressive phase. Cognitive/behavioral therapy has been found to be the most effective " talk therapy " for depression.
