There is much debate over weather the seizure has anything to do with the efficacy of the treatment. You see the seizure petit/grand mal may only be an indicator that certain relative intensities of current have been met. But as to the seizure itself having any efficay that is actually highly debated.
Consider this. We have pro-convulsant drugs that can induce gran/petit mal seizures in the healthy person without the need for electrical stimulation. However, the have absolutely no efficacy in treating depression.
