Electric Shock Therapy, the name may sound weird and will definitely give you a shock but patients who tried this therapy found it very effective and are willing to try it again.
80% of patients who have gone through Electric Shock Therapy are ready to undergo it again while 70% preferred it on conventional treatment and medication.
Electroconvulsive therapy is only used for patients with severe depression and psychiatric disorders, on whom traditional medication has failed to effect.
These claims were made by Tamil Nadu Medical Council of India. Their study was based on a sample size of 30 patients which is considered too small by scientific society to make such claims.
Another reason for such observation can be the unavailability of modern and up-to-date therapy and medication for psychiatric patients.
