    A

    Explanation:

    Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a medical or psychiatric treatment most commonly used in patients with severe major depression or bipolar disorder that has not responded to other treatments.

    ECT involves a brief electrical stimulation of the brain while the patient is under anesthesia.

    Although ECT is generally safe, it has been traced with cases of short-term memory loss and intellectual impairment as side effects.
