This program explains the symptoms of depression and the range of treatment options, from antidepressant medication to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). It also explains the differences between the old and new ECT procedure, showing how ECT is thought to stimulate the brain's neurotransmitters, restoring the brain's chemical balance. Two patients, both suffering from severe depression, explain what it feels like to be severely depressed, and how they manage to go on.
