Yes, it is! It is rather drastic. Some people lose their memories after it. Can't work, drive a car sometimes.

Here is another paper:

RSD has been resistant to many therapies. Sometimes rapid treatment works, but many patients are not identified rapidly and that time frame window closes.

While ECT remains interesting, it is in the same vein drastic.
