My mother had ECT for her agitated depression. For a day or so after each treatment she was improved, but then went back to how she'd been. I can't say I noticed any long term improvement from it, and I thought the doctors kind of assumed it was effective. They were talking about weekly maintenance ECT when she slowly began to improve, maybe from Effexor, maybe from the passage of time, maybe, who knows, from the ECT.
