I'm sorry I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to. Do you mean like electroshock therapy or like biofeedback?

Is that where electrodes are placed on your head send small amounts of electricity and "reset" your brain's circuitry?

I know that electroshock therapy seems terrible but the truth is, it really does work in desperate situations where nothing else does. And it is really quite safe and refined now.
