Now, in 1-2 paragraphs answer the following questions:
- What are your thoughts regarding what you saw?
- Would you consider any modern treatment techniques such as medicine or electroconvulsive shock therapy for depression to be problematic? Why or why not?
Note: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)-is a treatment that is used when medicines and therapy have failed. It involves the administration of an electrical current that is passed through the brain. The voltage must be intense enough to create a seizure. Temporary memory loss may result. Please see the video on this method in the Unit 2 lecture notes for more details.
