Shock Treatment ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy)
At Dr. Nazneen’s Clinic, we provide Electroconvulsive Therapy, also known as Shock Treatment, for patients who have not responded well to other mental health treatments. This safe and scientifically proven procedure helps manage severe depression, mood disorders, and certain psychotic symptoms under expert medical supervision.
ECT works by delivering controlled electrical stimulation to the brain while the patient is under anesthesia. This gentle stimulation helps restore chemical balance in the brain, resulting in improved mood, clearer thinking, and reduced emotional distress. Every session is carefully monitored by our qualified psychiatric team to ensure safety and comfort throughout the process.
