Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a biological treatment that involves applying electric current to the scalp to induce seizures. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, ECT has been shown to be effective in rapidly reducing symptoms of severe depression, particularly in cases where other treatments have not been successful. Psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and rational-emotive therapy are all forms of psychotherapy and are not considered biological treatments for major depressive disorder.
