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.

ECT was and is used primarily for treatment of depression.
