[心理视频]TED讲座:ECT

【conge 按】ECT,全称为electroconvulsive therapy,也就是电击疗法。这种疗法电击的部位,不是别处,而是人类最引以为傲的大脑。这种疗法最开始是为了治疗癫痫。人们那时候知道癫痫实际上是大脑神经元的放电紊乱,预示医生们就产生了用外部电流刺激来使得这种紊乱得以平息。在治疗过程中发现这种疗法对癫痫病人的情绪有积极的影响。后来经过验证,这种疗法对抑郁有治疗效果。后来医生们又尝试用电击疗法质量其他情感/情绪障碍,包括躁狂(Minia),双极症(Bipolar),精神分裂症,紧张症(Catatonia )等等。尽管由于严重的副作用,ECT现在很少被采用,但是对于那些对药物和心理治疗没有作用的深度抑郁症患者来说,这种疗法仍然是唯一可能有效的方法。
另外说一句,ECT最大的副作用是影响人的记忆,它可能会将你的记忆抹去一部分。至于是哪一部分,不是人能控制的。
TED的这个视频讲座对ECT有一个比较概况的介绍。 Enjoy!

视频简介:

简介 A surgeon/author who underwent ECT (electroconvulsive therapy, commonly called electroshock) for depression gives an eloquent talk on its history and his own experience struggling with depression and its treatments until ECT helped him.
