or is it that the memory loss of dementia (and perhaps disorientation to time and place) prevents depression? thinking about the memory loss aspect of ect perhaps being the mechanism of action rather than a side-effect. sort of like how the massive sedation of the old generation anti-psychotics seemed to be a mechanism of action to reduce violence and aggression and increase (somewhat sleepy) compliance on the ward.
