I dunno. my grandfather had electroshock in the 70s at some private hospital, and then he was "maintained" on BZD drugs (eventually they settled on a rather high dose of xanax) and various antidepressants (first TCA drugs, then SSRIs). He stayed on the meds until he died.
Good thing: he lived to 88 or so in more or less good health.
Bad thing: towards the end, his brain went to Hell. Some kind of dementia and also Parkinsons. Personally, I think "treatment" caught up with him.
