For which disorder was electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) originally developed as a treatment?
ByFor which disorder was electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) originally developed as a treatment?
a. panic
b. schizophrenia
c. bipolar disorder
d. cyclothymia
So, I guess this is a test question and I have to pick from the above….
Having to pick the best answer, it would be "C" Bi-polar/Manic Depressive Disorder
But training has taught me differently….depression, not listed.
A word of advice when test taking….try not to read too much into the question.
"C" is your answer.
