Therapy Techniques For Memory Loss
Do you believe ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) is effective in treating depression?
In recent years, ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) as a treatment for severe depression is being used by a growing number of Psychiatrists. The modern technique includes the use of very low AC voltages applied to one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) of the skull. The patient is anesthesized and feels nothing. ECT in no way resembles the barbaric “shock treatments” portrayed in the movies (e.g. “Fear Strikes Out”, the Jimmy Piersall story). However, it is nonethless controversial. There are claims that it causes permanent brain damage and memory loss. The AMA and APA claim that the procedure is safe and effective in treating depression. What do you think?
ECT is effective in treating depression and other mental illnesses. And has very few side effects as well; like memory loss and confusion which could last from a few minutes to one day.
However not all depressive patients need ECT.
ECT is usually recommended when patient is depressed to the extent that he does not eat or sleep or talk; orelse when he develops pecular mannerisms.
It is usually given to patients when drug therapy is ineffective or the patient is allergic to drugs or is uncompliant with medication
