Contents: With the development of technology and the improvement of medical devices, it is becoming increasingly easier to apply a treatment procedure that can be effective and dangerous in a single case, and help save the lives of patients. The 21st century is no exception. A medical device for electroshock therapy is one of the most common procedures in medicine. It is one of the methods for treating various diseases, ranging from mental pathologies, ending with cancer, diabetes, etc. But do not rush to run to a medical clinic for it, otherwise you risk losing consciousness. In the article we will consider the basic principles of the electroshock procedure, its advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications, the effectiveness of using electric current as a therapeutic agent, and also weigh all the facts for and against this method of treatment.

This is a procedure during which a low-power electric current is passed through the patient's body. In fact, it consists in the fact that the patient lies down on special equipment through which a current passes. An electrical current passed through the patient stimulates his central nervous system. Thus, the procedure can have a beneficial effect on the body as a whole. But there are risks.

The most successful results are achieved in patients with bipolar disease. As a result, the procedure affects the anterior cerebral lobe with the main centers of mental balance.
