I dont think it should ever be used just because they dont know what else to do, but I think it has a place for carefuly selected patients - maybe its more commonly used in the US than here?
Also, after the series you need intensive drug therapy (usualy combination) to stop the depression relapsing
Also, i think its only usefull in endrogenous/biochemical depression, not reactive/atypical
