Question

A treatment for major depressive disorder called _____, involves the surgical implantation of a device that delivers brief, intermittent electrical stimulation in the neural hub that bridges the thinking frontal lobes to the limbic system, which in turn calms this area down

Answer 1

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Step-by-step explanation:

This therapeutic method is usually employed when many other treatments have failed. The device which is surgically implanted transmits an abrupt electrical stimulation of the brain when the patient is unconscious.

It helps in the treatment of severe depression and schizophrenia among others. This method is generally safe but it has side effects which include short-term memory loss, discombobulation and medical complications.
