Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment most commonly used for patients with severe major depression or bipolar disorder that has not responded to other treatments. It involves a brief electrical stimulation of the brain while the patient is under anesthesia. ECT can be life saving when other treatments have been tried without success.
