How is faradic stimulation different from electoconvulsive shock?
Faradic stimulation is a small battery-operated "shock stick" with less electrical current and then a pace maker is used. The patient is put to sleep and given a muscular relaxant. A small amount of electric current is then applied to the patient's temples. This produces a seizure. where as- Electroconvulsive shock(ECT) is induced by attaching two electrodes to each side of the head and passing an electric current through them producing convulsions in the patient. Following this, a state of coma occurs lasting from several minutes to several hours. It is not certain which particular aspect of the shock process bring about positive changed--the coma,the changes in the nervous system from the shock, the violent psychological reaction, or the idea that the patient has taken the shock as punishment which reduces their sense of guilt. also.- Somatotherapy refers to the treatment of the body for behavioral disorders with such methods as shock treatments, surgery, or drugs. Shock treatment has received mixed reactions. The use of insulin shock was very popular. An overdose of insulin was administered causing a patient to become unconscious. When the brain lacks sugar through the process of shock, normal pathways to the brain are reintroduced and fortified. Therefore insulin shock returns the patient to normal functioning. hope this helps:) by the way im not a professional or anything.

The AED will only shock if there are 2 rhythms present: Ventricular Fibrillation, or the quivering of the heart before it actually stops; and ventricular tachycardia which is defined as over 180 beats per minute.
