> This article, by noted ECT doctor Max Fink claims that many cases of "treatment resistant depression" may in fact be psychotic depression. Fink explains that TRDepression cannot adequately be treated by antidepressants alone and that the only treatment which results in remission is ECT.
Fink owns the largest manufacturer of ECT equipment. Given his direct profit from the use of these machines, I cannot see anything he writes as unbiased.
