Since this is a new article we will be adding the basic information about Electroconvulsive therapy in the united states. This will include, when it came to the united states, what doctors administered this treatment, patients of these doctors, how the public perceived this treatment. It will also talk about the techniques of administering this treatments, the effectiveness, and the side effects from Electroconvulsive therapy.

This feels like a general overview of current ECT in the US, not a history
I feel like this article is not accurately titled, or is filled with irrelevant information.

It's primarily just about current ECT in the United States. It should either be titled "Electroconvulsive Therapy in The United States" or the three giant middle sections (How the procedure works, Contraindications and side effects of ECT, and Efficacy) should be removed as none of those are about the history of ECT, just it's current state. 142.198.17.103 (talk) 14:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
