Summary
This study aims to understand how electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) changes sleep patterns and brain communication in people with depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. Researchers will measure brain activity during sleep and wakefulness in 50 adults receiving ECT. The goal is to learn more about how ECT works, not to test a new treatment.
