One is inducing a seizure. I don't think there is any proper way to go about it.
There are still significant risks to ECT, even when it is performed ideally.
I don't think it matters if there are some satisfied ECT patients, I think the risks of ECT are unjustified for such a treatment.
The sucess rate may (or may not) be high, but after the relapse rate is factored in, ECT is not all that great.
You could do methamphetamines for 6 months and get great reusults that would probably leave you relapsing the same time as ECT.
