Report Description: Nerve stapling is a behavioral readjustment procedure undertaken for higher-tiered citizens as a humane alternative to deservicing, better known in other nations as electroconvulsive therapy. Nerve stapling is used to treat a wide variety of mental illnesses like seizures, catatonia, negative compliance, mania, work performance unbecoming a citizen's tier, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder[1]. The difference between nerve stapling and traditional electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) lies in the method of treatment. ECT is often conducted in a clinic with the patient being brought to an ECT device, while nerve stapling starts with a surgical procedure to implant a small, battery-powered ECT device similar to a pacemaker into the skull above either the frontal or medial temporal lobes[2]. This allows treatment to be administered either on a regular timer or remotely by a physician. Nerve stapling treatment allows malcompliant or even negatively compliant citizens to live productive, mobile lives with less physician commitment than traditional electroconvulsive therapy. In some infrequent-cycle treatments, physicians may check in as rarely as once a week to ensure treatment is being applied consistently. This is especially useful to higher-tiered citizens in sensitive positions who spend large amounts of time outside the MANINTERN, such as citizen diplomats, citizen trade-merchants, and contracted penal brigadiers. Side-effects may include retrograde amnesia[3], disorientation, vomiting, seizures, and reduced hand-eye coordination.
