I've been on the treating end and had one patient who'd been treated for depression for years. When I first encountered her, she was in the hospital for what was about a 4th suicide attempt. She'd had about every type of treatment for depression you can imagine. In this hospital stay, she received ECT -- it worked in a way that no other treatments had worked. She'll have to be carefully followed throughout her lifetime, but while I was there (I left that hospital about 7 months later), she did well. That was a first for her.
