Summary
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment for catatonia, even in patients with prior brain surgery. This case study shows successful recovery using ECT and multidisciplinary care.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a primary treatment for catatonia.
- Historically, intracranial surgery posed a contraindication for ECT due to safety concerns.
- Recent evidence suggests ECT may be safe in patients with prior neurosurgery if stability is confirmed.

Functional Divisions of the Nervous System
7.9K
The nervous system, responsible for sensing, integrating, and responding to various stimuli, is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS has two functional divisions: the sensory or afferent division and the motor or efferent division.
The sensory division transmits information from sensory receptors in the body to the CNS. It provides the CNS with knowledge about somatic senses (such as tactile, thermal, pain, and proprioceptive sensations)...
