Hi Shanon,

This is an excerpt from an article link from Mayo Clinic that I’ve posted below:

“Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions.”

Welcome to Connect. May I ask what brought you to the forum? Are you experiencing depression?
