What is shock trearment?

Answers:    I'm pretty sure shock treatment is called ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Despite what you may have heard on popular medium like 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest', ECT is scientifically proven to be an effective treated for mental disorders that, for whatever pretext, are not helped by conventional medication. From what i have heard (i'm no doctor) the treatment is impressive and anesthetic would definitely be used if the procedure was painful. Source(s): My father is an acomplished psychiatrist who have administered this treatment before. He says it works and he's been contained by university/medical school for 17 years so he knows his stuff. hope this helps
