"... since the 1950s, when various antidepressant drugs such as Marplan and Thorazine came into wide use."
Thorazine is not an antidepressant it is an antipsychotic. I'm a little annoyed he got that wrong. This is one of the reasons i get so irritated with pop psychology and pop psychiatry. So many inaccuracies and oversimplifications.
The article as a whole may have been good though, i can't really tell. I just don't have much interest in ECT.
