Do Electroconvulsive Therapy Really Work?

The only time I know of something like this working is in heat stroke because you instantly need to be put into an ice tub right away. But the idea that we could take anything psychologically and essentially smack you out of it through one form of mild torture or another is insane. Electroconvulsive therapy is still in a very small scale use today. There are certain people with certain fairly rare problems that it can help.
