Bill Russell tells people that his severe depression was relieved by shock therapy, the most common response he gets is: "They're still doing that?"
Most people might be quicker to associate electroshock therapy with torture rather than healing. But since the 1980s, the practice has been quietly making a comeback. The number of patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy, as it's formally called, has tripled to 100,000 a year, according to the National Mental Health Association.

My mother had shock therapy in the 70's and she would come home quiet and blank looking...but she said it did take away the pain she felt from her depression and thought it was worth it even though it didn't last.
