I haven't had it myself, but my mother did. It was just assumed it would work and any transitory improvement/fluctuation in her condition was seen as proof of efficacy. It wasn't apparent to me. Patients with mental illness are sometimes treated so casually that sometimes noone has a clue. I think her depression passed as she was able to let go of what was upsetting her so (personal bias?). So I think you are right to seek the opinion of those who have experienced it.
