Abstract | Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is still one of the most efficient and safe therapeutic interventions in psychiatry that is widely used all over the world. In the article, the current literature on continuation and maintenance ETC will be summarised with special reference to the methodology, indications, standard of practice, and efficacy. This review is selective because it is based exclusively on English language papers accessed through electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO) and by cross-referencing publications acquired during the literature search. |
