Depression - Treating Symptoms (1)

Doctor Jon Lieberman describes his experiences with treating depression, where antidepressant medication was abandoned in favor of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

I knew I was depressed, and I tried every antidepressant medication and combination of antidepressant medications, which had no positive effect – that is, did not relieve any of my depressive symptoms. And as a last line intervention, I underwent approximately 50 ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) experiences.
