When confabulations appear, is it due to faulty memories or only when the patient is using specific forms of recall. Finally researchers were looking to answer the question: are provoked confabulations the
Furthermore, it has been suggested ECT’s effectiveness may not be related to just the induction of a seizure, but may also be dependent on the actual electrical stimulation of brain structures, and within the last 20-25 years, researchers have begun to look at a potential newer treatment option for TRD called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
