5. Electro-convulsive Therapy

Some patients may be put off by this treatment, but its effectiveness has been proven. It involves the application of electrical currents to the brain, administered while the patient is under anesthesia. Electroconvulsive therapy helps regulate brain function, elevating mood and promoting your body’s natural production of serotonin and other feel-good hormones.
