During electroconvulsion therapy, other wise known as 'shock' therapy, electrical currents are sent through the brain. This treatment is believed to help cure mental illnesses such as clinical depression and schizophrenia.

Today however, electroconvulsion therapy is quite effective and is well used for several mental illnesses. There are only a few rare cases of ECT that go wrong now and most that do are only minor.

Even though ECT is quite successful in many ways, there are a few symptoms of this therapy that have been reported to never fully go away.
