Elevating Serotonin

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can help lift people out of the depths of severe, treatment-resistant depression and reveal a world that feels clearer and more vibrant. Elevating Serotonin explores the stark contrast between long-term depressive symptoms and the sudden heightening of the senses immediately following ECT. The film dramatizes the disorienting mixture of increased clarity and the emotional reawakening that some individuals experience. It captures both the vulnerability of the process and the fragile hope that emerges.
