Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), often misrepresented in media, is a carefully considered treatment for severe mental illnesses like major depression and Bipolar disorder. Administered in controlled settings under anesthesia, ECT is a last-resort intervention when other treatments prove ineffective. Informed consent and ethical guidelines govern its application. Modern techniques minimize side effects, challenging misconceptions about brutality. ECT's efficacy, particularly in addressing severe depression, has been noteworthy, making it a crucial option in Psychiatric care, with ongoing research aiming to refine its understanding and application in mental health treatment.
