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. Keith Bea ([log in to unmask])
