Abstract:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has evolved into a useful treatment alternative for a select psychiatric patient population. With thorough knowledge of ECT and judicious candidate selection, positive therapeutic responses can be achieved with minimal risk of complications. ECT, in its state-of-the-art application, offers certain severely-ill psychiatric patients a treatment option that can provide immediate results.
