system: What are misunderstandings about electroconvulsive therapy?
output: Many people misunderstand ECT, even though it's been around since the 1940s. Many of the risks and side effects have been related to anesthesia, doctors using the equipment improperly or doing the ECT in the wrong way, and staff who haven't had the right training. There is also a misconception that ECT should only be a "last resort" form of treatment, or that it is used as a "quick fix" instead of long-term therapy or hospitalization. Movies and TV shows have shown it incorrectly, adding to the misunderstandings.

output: Short-term memory loss is the major one. This usually goes away within a few weeks after treatment ends.
system: How is electroconvulsive therapy used?
output: In schizophrenia, ECT is often extremely effective for a syndrome called catatonia, a condition that may coincide with schizophrenia, some forms of depression, and other psychiatric disorders in which a person's body becomes rigid and cannot be moved. Doctors may also use ECT to ease other symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized thinking.

It can be repeated 2-3 times for optimal effect.
system: How are oral drugs used for hyperhidrosis?
output: Oral anticholinergic drugs such as glycopyrrolate ( Robinul) are not commonly used for excessive sweating, because in order to work they often produce side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary retention. Oral medication is typically reserved for people who have tried first-line treatments without success.
system: How do over-the-counter antiperspirants help treat hyperhidrosis?
output: The approach to treating excessive sweating generally proceeds as follows: Over-the-counter antiperspirants containing a low dose of metal salt (usually aluminum) are usually tried first because they are readily available. Antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride (for example Certain Dri) may be more effective when other antiperspirants have failed. Prescription strength antiperspirants, which contain aluminum chloride hexahydrate. Iontophoresis, a device which passes ionized tap water through the skin using direct electricity. Oral medications, Anticholinergics reduce sweating. Botox (botulinum toxin)- A, has been approved in the U. S. by the FDA for treating excessive axillary (underarm) sweating. mira Dry. This technique uses microwave energy to permanently kill sweat glands. Lasers. Lasers can target and kill the underarm sweat glands. Surgery. A procedure called thoracic sympathectomy may be considered as a last resort.

system: How is iontophoresis used for hyperhidrosis?
output: Its exact mechanism of action is still unclear, although it probably works by temporarily blocking the sweat duct. The procedure uses water to conduct an electric current to the skin a few times each week, for about 10-20 minutes per session, followed by a maintenance program of treatments at 1- to 3-week intervals, depending on the patient's response. Iontophoresis treatments are not painful. Patients may purchase devices for this treatment through a doctor's prescription. Medical insurers sometimes cover the cost. Microwave energy mira Dry is a treatment that was FDA approved in 2011 for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating.
