The procedure is most often used to treat patients who do not respond to medication or talk therapy.n bilateral ECT, electrodes are placed on either side of the head. The treatment affects the entire brain. In unilateral ECT, one electrode is placed on the top of the head. The other is placed on the right temple. This treatment affects only the right side of the brain.
