Hi :-)
Well, "forget" about the voltage. the Current is the thing that matters.
But please dont think you can put your fingers into the elektrtical sypply.... this is not a good thing and will definately not help your depression....
from http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/GinaCastellano.shtml
" Modern ECT machines regulate the current to keep it constant and thus the voltage may **vary up to a maximum**, typically 450 V, but is usually around half that level in most cases."
The voltage automatically varies to get a well defined current (depends on the resistance and capacitance of your skull, skin etc. ...)
