Phenelzine provides effective therapy for the treatment of depressed patients, and is especially effective in patients in the older age groups. Because of its safety and lack of severe side effects, it should be used in preference to ECT, except when the threat of suicide is acute or an immediate improvement is required, without regard to other factors.
