Easily absorbed personal account of Kitty Dukakis and her lifelong battle with depression and how shock treatment helped her. Addresses psychotherapy's stigmata with invasive treatments such as ECT (which are actually quite blown out of proportion) and the importance of considering this form of treatment as a viable option for many depressed individuals. Candidly written, this account helps the reader to more thoroughly comprehend ECT and its after effects, ill and beneficial.
