I have a question about the DBS procedure. What is the difference between DBS and ECT?

DBS is a surgical procedure that involves implanting a device in the brain that sends electrical impulses to the brain. ECT is a procedure that involves sending electrical impulses to the brain. DBS is a more recent procedure that is used to treat certain types of movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. ECT is a more traditional treatment for depression.
