Neurostimulation procedures such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are modern medical procedures used for certain mental disorders, especially when others treatments do not bring the desired success. These methods may initially seem somewhat unusual or even frightening to many people, but they are well-researched and have proven effective in many cases.
The procedures work by specifically targeting certain areas of the brain to influence activity there. This can help to depression or alleviate other disorders that respond poorly to other methods. These treatments are safe and are always carried out under controlled conditions by specialized doctors. The decision for such therapies is made in close consultation with the patients in order to find the best possible treatment path.
