Electroconvulsive Therapy, Before

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure in which electric currents are passed through the brain, triggering a brief seizure. ECT can produce significant improvements in symptoms more quickly than medications or psychotherapy. Unfortunately, the use of ECT carries a stigma based on its early use, when high doses of electricity were administered without anesthesia, leading to permanent memory loss and even death.
