What is ECT?
Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT) is a medical procedure that uses controlled electrical currents to induce a brief seizure in the brain, which can help alleviate symptoms of certain psychiatric disorders. Administered under general anesthesia, ECT is a proven treatment for severe depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other conditions when other therapies are insufficient. At Anandam Mind Clinic, we prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the process.
