Hell. To. The. No.
This is no different than the electroshock 'therapies' that were pioneered from 1930 and onward through the 1990s. This is based in medical quackery and this is highly problematic that it once again is being suggested.
I note that you reported this post as "wild misinfomation". Now I'm totally ignorant on the topic, so can you elaborate some more on how this is ECT?
On face value, the Wikipedia article you posted describes ECT's purpose is to induce a seizure.
The article mentions something much milder
ECT sounds horrific, but without further information, the articles only similarity is "electric meets brain", but without the seizure part.
