Answer 2

One type of treatment for extreme depression includes sending electrical currents through the brain is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In cases of extreme depression, one of the treatments is sending electrical currents to the brain, which is known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

• This was once called electroshock therapy in 1940s, when this technology was very primitive.

• So, it has many negative associations. People are under 'anesthesia' during the procedure and wake up 5-10 minutes after it has ended.

• They can perform normal activity in about an hour. Many patients undergo treatments for about '4 to 6' hours before improvement is seen.
