Abstract

While electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective treatment for severe depression, there is a concern regarding its potential adverse effects on the brain. It is unclear whether a single ECT session (i.e., an electrically induced seizure) leads to physiological microstructural changes or causes lasting adverse biological effects.
