What about developing a system that people can use to administer ECT to themselves. Obviously it will have to be sold as something else.

As I understand ECT is basically just having a seizure while under some heavy-duty muscle relaxants and/or general anaesthetic (?), so you don't flail around and hurt yourself.

Seems way too dangerous for home use.
