1. Dumb question..what is ECT?
2. <severe depression that responds poorly to antidepressant drugs alone>...OK, so why doesn't the doc try something else if antidepressants alone don't work....like thyroid or estrogen? "Hormones and the Mind" By Edward L. Klaiber M.D a psychoneuroendocrinolgist, explains how some women don't respond to antidepressants until their estrogen levels are fixed. I assume similar stories would occur with other hormones.
