Requiem for a Dream

I just watched Requiem for a Dream, and I must say, what a crazy fucking movie. Not trying to start a "cool story Hansel" thread or anything like that but I'm just curious about a part in the movie. at 1:11 in the video below, what are those two bars around her head and what do they do? Judging by how she turned out in the end, I imagine it messes with your brain somehow.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are at least 10 threads on this movie. Still a great film though

To answer your question its called electro-shock therapy.

IT used to be used all the time for all kinds of psychological problems. It's still used, but mostly as a last result. It basically just makes you numb completely.

OP, the treatment you are asking about is called Electroconvulsive Therapy. (Also known as Electroshock Therapy) It has been used to treat psychiatric problems.

Here is a link for more info on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy

Maybe you should do some more research on it dude because it does not "just basically make you numb completely." However it usually is used as a last resort if patients are not responding to other drug therapy.

Yeah that was an incredibly half-assed response and its been a few years since I took psych. It's funny how laziness leads to shitty posts like mine more often than no post at all haha

I always though they should omit a couple scenes and how this to kids in highschool. That will pretty much do it to stop tem from taking hard drugs.
