| Electroconvulsive therapy Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock, is a well established, albeit controversial, psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect. Today, ECT is most often used as a treatment for severe major depression which has not responded to other treatment, and is also used in the treatment of mania (often in bipolar disorder), catatonia, schizophrenia and other disorders.

| Mentalism (discrimination) Mentalism is a form of discrimination and oppression against people who have, or who are labeled as having, a mental disorder (mental illness). Like other "isms" such as sexism and racism, it is characterized by complex social inequalities in power. It can result in blatant mistreatment or multiple, small insults and indignities. The negative attitudes and terms may be internalized. A term with a similar meaning that is sometimes used is psychophobia. Mentalism_(discrimination) |
