Electroconvulsive treatment: hypotheses about mechanisms of action
Researchers haven't been able to agree on how electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) works, but there are two features that may help us understand the mechanisms involved.

A case report of a woman who experienced seratonin syndrome following ECT.
The effects of ECT on neuronal oscillatory pattern and phase synchronization, and the relationship between clinical response or cognitive change and electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements remain elusive.
Studies are finding that people are not getting enough information about electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) before, during, and after treatment. This study is exploring people's experiences with what they are told about the treatment.
ECT can directly impact the trigemnial nerve. This paper discusses the trigeminal cardiac reflex, the dive reflex, and their impact on all bodily systems.
