"Among psychiatrists, there is little controversy about ECT. The National Institute of Mental Health, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Medical Association, and the U.S. Surgeon General all endorse ECT as a valuable tool in the treatment of certain psychiatric disorders, including depression."--Irving M. Reti, M.B.B.S., director of the Electroconvulsive Therapy  and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
  

 

"Depression is such a pervasive problem, and the medications available today do

not come anywhere close to ECT in terms of effectiveness. Doctors who perform

ECT essentially treat people who are medication resistant or who have suboptimal

responses to the medicines, and about 85% of these difficult-to-treat patients

improve with ECT. This is a remarkably high response rate in a severely depressed group of people" Irving M. Reti, M.B.B.S.
