Electro Therapy Helped Carrie Fisher To Overcome Depression
American actress Carrie Fisher has revealed that she had to undergo drastic electric shock therapy to cope up with depression.

"Well, it's the ups and downs that send you to ECT. But it's like, if there's anything in you that gets stuck or if there's a concrete wall, it blows that apart," the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

"It's like being hit with happy lightning. But the initial time you do it, you lose the month around then," she said.

The actress, who features in 'Wishful Drinking', an autobiographical comedic one-woman show, was asked if she was upset with the therapy.
