My father-in-law, age 75, has been receiving electric shock (ECT) treatments
for six months for PD and depression.  Does anyone have experience or
knowledge about this treatment regimen?  Any suggestions for professional
literature on the topic?  The treatments appear to be helping for a short time,
but we're concerned about long-term effects and whether a different treatment
should be tried.  He also takes 2 Sinemet a day, but does not tolerate drugs
well.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.
