If ECT supposedly raises the seizure threshold in the human brain, then wouldn't a spate of treatments reduce or eliminate the frequency and/or severity of episodes that an epileptic might experience (at least for a short period of time)? This seems logical to me, but I've never heard mention of it in any literature. I realize it probably wouldn't be a viable treatment for epilepsy, but I figured I would have heard mention of the phenomenon in the literature as an inadvertant observation.
