Hello Tornado, it's not a matter of encouraging or not. It's just that for some people it is essential. You can save a lot of lives by electroconvulsive therapy. Both, the mentally affected person and his 'victims'

Hi there..no I don't really know about it! Oh yea? Some people really need it? Wow, then yea okay if it's used in extreme cases, where it can be the last hope for some people, then I guess we should kinda encourage its (exceptional) use...
Thank you for these infos Tornado and Splash, I become rally intelligent on this forum!!

Yes Stacey, it helps to cure 'severe depression with insomnia, weight change, feelings of hopelessness or guilt, and thoughts of suicide or homicide (hurting or killing someone else)'.It also helps in case of severe depression that does not respond to antidepressants or counseling. it can also be useful in severe depression in patients who cannot take antidepressants. Severe mania that does not respond to medicines also can be cured by this way. Symptoms of severe mania may include talking too much, insomnia, weight loss or impulsive behavior. And at last Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder that does not respond to medication.

But i read that the neurotransmitters were very dangerous and that they can cause serious damages to the brain. This is not a very safe practice isn't it? I would be very traumatised if i had to go through this someday

All kind of electronic method to solve mental problems are dangerous according to me. We should avoid using these kind of methods so that we don't become more crazy
