Electroconvulsive therapy is a treatment procedure in psychiatry which has frequently come under considerable critical scrutiny. This paper describes its use mainly in a postgraduate institute of psychiatry and, for comparative purposes, two other types of psychiatric facilities in Toronto. The treatment is given conservatively, varying to hospital, and is prescribed for 11 percent of patients at a postgraduate institute. However, it is used largely for those with depressive disorders as recommended in standard textbooks. Diagnosis and age are the key variables affecting ECT prescription. It is suggested that ECT practice is effective by and large and now efforts should concentrate on making it efficient.

A sample of 133 candidates for antidepressant or mood-stabilizing medication treatment, with acute onset or a new phase of illness between the autumnal and vernal equinoxes, was gathered over a 3-year period from a private outpatient practice. All patients were diagnosed using DSM-III-R criteria, rated on a standard motion sickness (MS) questionnaire, and asked whether they had experienced cardinal symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). There was a positive relationship between greater MS and SAD in the entire patient sample. When a subsample of 23 patients was given a 2-week trial of phototherapy and rated for improvement, MS-susceptible patients responded better than MS-resistant patients.
