Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) involves using electric stimulation of the brain under anesthesia to treat severe depression or bipolar disorder that has not responded to other treatments. ECT has been found to provide substantial relief for around 80% of patients with severe major depression and is administered by a psychiatric team. While controversial, ECT remains an effective option for certain severe mental illnesses like catatonia that can cause harm if left untreated.
