Name: Hung Jie Song Date: 4.20.2015

__ //Research// __ : Electroconvulsive therapy is a form of treatment for psychiatric illnesses in which an electrical pulse is administered to induce a seizure in order to relieve said psychiatric illnesses. Right Unilateral Placement and Bilateral Placement are the two forms of electroconvulsive therapy. The difference in both pertains to the side effects (i.e. persistent or permanent memory loss), and whichever procedure the doctor decides to perform depends on the severity of the psychiatric illness and number of symptoms exhibited.
