... [Name of the writer] [Name of the instructor] [Subject] [Date] A Case for Electro-Convulsive Therapy: The Never Ending Contraversy Electroconvulsive therapy is the treatment of choice for severe depressive episodes. Although little definitive research exists to explain its effectiveness, since its development in 1938 it has proven effective for the treatment of depression with psychotic features and suicidal ideation. The procedure is explained and implications for the mental health counselor are discussed. Changes in professional understanding of mental illness have led to the increasing use of somatic, or biological, therapy as part of the successful treatment of some of the more common disorders. Somatic therapies are physical in nature, and the most commonly used of these are medication and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Many psychiatrists returned to the biological model in the 1980s and use both medication and ECT to treat the more severe or serious illnesses: (a) depression, (b) mania, (c) schizophrenia, (d) severe anxiety
