Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The treatment being described is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is a last resort treatment for severe depression and has been shown to quickly stop self-destructive or suicidal behavior. However, the improvements are typically temporary and some patients may experience memory loss as a side effect. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), and DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) are not appropriate choices as they do not fit the description of the treatment being discussed.
