Other participants (in the "control group") get a basic treatment, such as a medicine currently on the marketplace, an inactive placebo drug, or no therapy. Once strictly an inpatient procedure, today ECT is frequently carried out on an outpatient basis. The therapy consists of a collection of sessions, generally 3 times a week, for two to four weeks. The earlier that therapy can begin, the more reliable it is.
