Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
The gold standard for rapid relief in severe mental health crises.
About Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Modern Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a safe and highly effective medical treatment for severe mental health conditions, including treatment-resistant depression, mania, and catatonia. Performed under general anesthesia by a multidisciplinary team, ECT involves a brief, controlled electrical stimulation of the brain. It is often the fastest way to achieve relief for patients in acute distress or those at high risk of self-harm.
Individuals with life-threatening depression, severe bipolar disorder, or catatonia who require immediate stabilization or have not responded to other treatments. It is also used when medication is not safe, such as during certain medical conditions.
