Show: Wellness Waves
Modern Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is very safe and effective. It is a viable treatment option for patients whose medication or other treatments have failed to ease symptoms associated with some mental health issues.

This episode will review the modern day application of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and address the benefits of the clinical intervention for Treatment Resistant Depression. Why would someone consider ECT?
