Did you know that…..
Shock Therapies were introduced in Psychiatry in the last century ?
Most mental hospitals used Shock Therapies throughout the twentieth century.
There were three main types of Shock Therapies,
- Hypoglycemic shock therapy,
- Cardiazol shock,
- Electric convulsions shock.
The Electric shock therapy was the most popular shock therapy.
The application of the shock therapy was widely accepted because there was no a more rational and effective treatment.
Shock Therapies also mean lower health care costs for most countries, but the scientific validity and the effects of shocks has been questioned.
