My nephew (33 yrs old) has suffered with depression for the past 15 years. He has not had significant relief through a regime of drugs. His psychiatrist is suggesting ect. I know without knowing you nephew you can t make a diagnosis; however, what is your opinion of ect? Thanks, Bernadette Maher

HelloDear, if no drug regime is working for him, ECT is the best treatment option. The treatment is safe and has no major side effects. It would be better to go for it than to keep experimenting with drugs.Thanks
