What is another word for insulin shock therapy?
Pronunciation: [ˈɪnsuːlˌɪn ʃˈɒk θˈɛɹəpi] (IPA) 
Insulin shock therapy is a controversial psychiatric treatment that involves administering insulin to induce hypoglycemia and seizures. Though it was once widely used, the practice has fallen out of favor due to its potentially harmful side effects and lack of scientific evidence supporting its efficacy. Some synonyms for insulin shock therapy include insulin coma therapy, insulin subcoma therapy, hypoglycemia therapy, and convulsive therapy. While these terms may differ slightly in their connotations, they all refer to the same general practice of inducing insulin-induced seizures in order to treat certain mental health conditions. Nowadays, more modern and evidence-based treatments have replaced insulin shock therapy in most clinical settings.
