To get ready for the ECT procedure:
You'll have general anesthesia. So you can expect dietary confinements previously the method. Regularly, this implies no sustenance or water after 12 pm and just a taste of water to take any morning drugs. Your medicinal services group will give you particular directions previously your method.

You'll have terminal cushions set on your head. Each cushion is about the extent of a silver dollar. ECT can be one-sided, in which electric flows center around just a single side of the cerebrum, or respective, in which the two sides of the mind get engaged electric flows.
