Question

Electroconvulsive therapy, or ect, involves electrically inducing a brief brain seizure; also called electroshock therapy. What is it currently (no pun intended) used to treat?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions.
