Electric shock treatment, or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is often misunderstood and stigmatized due to its historical misuse and portrayal in media. However, it is still investigated and used in clinical settings for severe mental health conditions when other treatments fail. Current research focuses on refining its application, improving safety, and understanding its mechanisms. Ongoing studies aim to address concerns about side effects and long-term efficacy, ensuring it is used as a safe and effective option for those in need.
