They only help in one way. Like if you are cold and you put on a hat, the hat HELPS, but it isn't going to take the place of the coat, gloves a scarf now is it? Also, just because affecting certain receptors helps doesn't mean that those receptors are even the cause of the disease itself. In my opinion, ECT is a very crude and barbaric treatment that is only allowed because as a society we think less of mental patients.<br><b>References : </b><br> Saying a particular receptor causes depression or anxiety is quite a crude generalisation.
