title: By the way doctor. Last fall, my mother went into a deep depression. The same thing happened about five years ago, but she took an antidepressant for a few weeks and it went away. This time she's been depressed for nearly a year. No medication has helped. Now her doctors want her to try electroshock therapy, but that scares her--and me.
