ECT stands for?

Effective cognitive therapy
Electro convulsive therapy
Electronic control technology
Energy conversion transducer

The correct answer is: Electro convulsive therapy

ECT stands for Electro Convulsive Therapy. While all of the other answer choices are acronyms for words that start with "E", only electro convulsive therapy is an actual medical treatment. Effective cognitive therapy is a form of psychotherapy, electronic control technology is used in law enforcement, and energy conversion transducer is used in engineering. Therefore, these answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the meaning of ECT.
