What is another word for Electric Shock Therapy?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˈɛktɹɪk ʃˈɒk θˈɛɹəpi] (IPA) 
Electric Shock Therapy is a form of medical treatment that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the brain. It is often used to treat severe mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. However, due to the negative connotations associated with the term "Electric Shock Therapy", many alternative names have been coined over the years. Some of the synonyms used for Electric Shock Therapy include Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Electroshock Therapy, Electrotherapy, and Electrotreatment. Although these terms all refer to the same treatment, the use of different names helps to soften the impact of associating electricity with therapy, and makes it easier for patients to accept the treatment itself.
