Question 1 of 5
Which therapy uses electric currents to treat major depression?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment most commonly used for patients with severe major depression which has not responded to other treatments. It involves a brief electrical stimulation of the brain while the patient is under anesthesia. ECT quickly reverses symptoms of certain mental health conditions and is considered a highly effective treatment. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it likely involves a massive neurochemical release in the brain. Despite its controversial history, ECT remains a critical option, particularly when immediate symptom resolution is required.
