Information about Electro-Convulsive Therapy

On certain occasions, electroconvulsive therapy is recommended. Electroconvulsive therapy is a hospital-based procedure to treat treatment-resistant depression and, in some cases, mania. ECT has been used for many years and its techniques have been refined. This is a complicated procedure that has been controversial over the years, but when the proper patient selection is made, it can be a live-saving treatment.

The following link to the Mayo Clinic contains helpful information about ECT.  If you have any questions, you may always discuss them with Dr. Young during your next visit.
