- combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy is modestly more helpful to depressed people than
either treatment alone
- depression may be having too many connections between certain brain areas. ECT may help to reduce
connections between areas such as the frontal lobe with regions involved in emotional control

revitalize damaged connections in the hippocampus

Non-suicidal self injury - (ANSWER)- behaviors intended to injure oneself without the intent to kill
oneself
