Background:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for severe mental illness.
  • Patient perspectives on ECT are crucial for understanding treatment efficacy and acceptance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient satisfaction with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • To compare attitudes towards ECT between patients who received the treatment and a control group.
