Electroshocks are a type of therapy used to treat severe mental health disorders. These shocks are also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, there are some synonyms for the word electroshocks, including electrotherapy, electrotreatment, electric shock therapy, electrostimulation, and electroconvulsions. These synonyms refer to the same procedure where an electric current is passed through the brain to induce a controlled seizure. Electroshocks are often used as a last resort for people who have not responded to other treatments, and can be an effective way of managing symptoms of conditions such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
