What is "electroshock therapy"?

Electroshock therapy is a treatment mainly used for serious mental health conditions such as depression or bipolar disorder. It involves sending controlled electrical shocks to the brain, typically causing a brief seizure. This treatment is thought to ease symptoms by changing the patient's brain chemistry and nerve connections. While debated in the past regarding its safety and effectiveness, modern electroshock therapy is considered safe and effective, often used when other treatments have not succeeded.
