When is surgery required for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)?

Please don't consider surgery for TMJ issues! TMJ disorders are a misnomer. The condition is a result of high-stress levels and our normal reflex response to this stress. TMJ issues are, therefore, a result of hyperfunction. The joints and muscles are just symptoms. We recommend stress management and conservative prevention therapy to manage the symptoms.

How effective is electroconvulsive therapy as compared to other forms of treatments for mental disorders?

ECT (electroconvulsive therapy, or electroshock therapy) is the electrical induction of the type of generalized cerebral seizure associated with a tonic-clonic convulsion, with the objective of treating an abnormal mental state or neurological disorder. It involves the patient being put to sleep with an anaesthetic. A tiny amount of current is then passed across the head. This causes the person to have a fit or seizure. It is believed that the seizure changes the chemicals in the brain and leads to an improvement in the mental state or neurological disorder.
