Electroshock Therapy

I remember being very moved by this video when I watched it several months back. It's hard to explain depression to people and when you try, they often dismiss you, thinking you've just got the blues. However, hearing a doctor discuss, especially one who has gone through it himself, seems to give it more legitimacy. (Warning: Very brief profanity, NSFW)

"Surgeon and author Sherwin Nuland discusses the development of electroshock therapy as a cure for severe, life-threatening depression -- including his own. It’s a moving and heartfelt talk about relief, redemption and second chances."
