Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking for a safer alternative to a method of inducing seizures or treating severe depression. Among the choices given, the only method that fits this description is electroconvulsive shock therapy (EST). Therefore, the best choice is D, electroconvulsive shock therapy (EST). Deep brain stimulation (DBS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are both non-invasive techniques that do not involve the use of shock therapy. Thorazine and lithium are medications that are not used to induce seizures or treat severe depression. PET is a diagnostic imaging technique and is not used to treat depression or induce seizures.
