I think they used to call this ECT....of course it's all tidy and wrapped in a beribboned package called "brain stimulation"...I saw ECT in actual use once on a patient with bipolar disorder and psychotic component. The patient was extremely delusional; six rounds of ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) worked it's miracle.
It knocked the sh*t out of the patient for a few days but when they "came back", the patient was appropriate, courteous and oriented to person place and time, free of delusions.
A slippery slope.
