Shock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a treatment that involves the use of electrical shocks to cause controlled seizures in the brain. This technique can ease the symptoms of serious mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, especially when other treatments have not been effective. Patients are usually numb or unconscious during shock therapy to reduce discomfort. Even though the exact way this treatment works is not fully understood, it is known to have a significant impact on brain chemistry and function, leading to improvements in mood and mental health.
