ECT helps about 80% of people who try it. Depression can have many causes, and there might never be a single treatment that helps everyone. JohnLA used to post here frequently about the many treatments he'd tried for his depression, including ECT. He had his done at UCLA, where he recognized celebrities who were receiving ECT. JohnLA wasn't helped by ECT. The treatment that finally helped him was Deep TMS.
I've read about people who weren't helped by ECT, but were helped by neurofeedback, or by psychedelics.
