Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electoconvulsive Therapy is used in cases of mental illness where medications fail to ease the symptoms or may be used in association with other treatment and medications. It is safe, most effective and fastest way to treat symptoms in extremely depressed or suicidal patients.

  • Severe depression
  • Suicidal tendencies
  • Clinical depression
  • Mania or number of mental illness.

  • Specialist consultation
  • Electrocardiogram

Treatment

Under General anesthesia the electrodes are placed  by the doctor at precise locations to pass electric current that causes a brief seizure. There will be no memory of treatment after waking up but sometimes it may feel groggy.
