I have a friend who had ECT several years ago. He had about a half-dozen sessions in two weeks, and since then has received a maintenance session of ECT about every six weeks. The benefits he's received from ECT have been fair but not outstanding. Before ECT, he was severely depressed and had attempted suicide at least twice. Now he's moderately depressed most of the time, still takes antidepressants, and functions moderately well.
