Electroconvulsive therapy
Although there has traditionally been a stigma surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), it is actually very beneficial for people living with severe mental conditions, especially if there are life-threatening symptoms. Contrary to popular beliefs, ECT is very safe and is only used when medication and therapy fail to treat the disorder.
ECT may be beneficial for people living with severe mental conditions, especially ones with life-threatening symptoms. You and your doctor may decide to add ECT to your care plan if medication and therapy fail to treat the disorder.
