The Shock Therapy operates using a charge meter. When the meter is full, attacking an enemy (including enemy buildings) consumes it entirely, dealing 100 damage.

The Shock Therapy is a melee weapon for the Medic. It's an arm-mounted battery-powered gadget with two large prongs that emit a current of electricity. The opacity of the electricity going through the prongs is proportional to how much charge the weapon has.
The Shock Therapy operates using a charge meter. When the meter is full, attacking an enemy (including enemy buildings) consumes it entirely, dealing 100 damage. When attacking an ally (excluding allied buildings) on a charged hit, it also consumes it, healing 100% of their max health value and overhealing if their health would be full. Once depleted, the meter will recharge after 30 seconds, after respawning, or after visiting a resupply locker. While recharging, attacking an enemy consumes the remaining charge and deals between 1 and 99 damage. Attacking an ally while recharging does nothing. Attacking a Spy disguised as an ally will heal them instead of hurt them. Attacking an invulnerable enemy will consume the charge without dealing damage. The Shock Therapy also deals mini-crits against wet enemies, such as those underwater or recently escaping water.
As a penalty, the Shock Therapy gives 15% less heal rate (including overheal rate) on the Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg. This has the side effect of building ÜberCharge faster, as the Medic receives less Über meter when healing allies at full health.
