“…8 Many studies have been done so far to know about the attitude and knowledge regarding ECT. 9,10,11 A differentiating point between Indian and Western studies is that the studies done in India show good knowledge and positive attitude towards ECT as compared to western studies among patients and their attendants. 12,13 Till now, no such study has been done in this part of the world.…”

Background: Electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) has been effective in various psychiatric disorders and is life-saving in some conditions. Despite its effectiveness and lack of serious side-effects, its use is restricted due to negative attitude of patients and their relatives towards ECT. The objective of the study was to study the attitude of patients and their attendants towards ECT. Also, we studied their knowledge regarding ECT prior to the administration of ECT.Methods: A 16 item questionnaire was formulated to be used for assessing the attitude and knowledge about ECT and was administered after translating it into Urdu language for better understanding. Patients planned for ECT were administered the questionnaire after taking consent. A total of 60 patients and 60 attendants were taken up for the study.Results: About 60-70% of patients gave correct (right) responses to questions like ECT being life-saving procedure, need of investigations before ECT and other questions like question numbers 1,5,6,7,11,14,15. There was little knowledge regarding other areas like use of ECT in pregnant females and elderly (question numbers 2, 4, 10, 12). The patients as well as their attendants did not differ significantly in the responses given to the queries. Maximum number of patients received knowledge regarding ECT from doctors; few had attained it from other sources like internet.Conclusions: The study is a preliminary one and emphasizes the need for better standardized questionnaire for proper assessment. It also gives us an insight into lack of knowledge among patients and their attendants regarding ECT.

The efficacy and safety of Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in adults is well-supported by a history of robust research and clinical experience. There is less information regarding the application of this therapeutic modality for the treatment of severe psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.

“…According to American Psychiatric Association, ECT is widely considered as the most effective antidepressant treatment in medication resistant depression.Multiple studies have also indicated ECT to be effective in the treatment of both manic, depressed phases of bipolar disorder and included it as an optional treatment for refractory bipolar disorder [6][7][8][9][10][11] . Some studies have shown that ECT is a useful treatment for a variety of complicated psychiatric conditions especially affective disorders resistant to psychotherapy, medication and other forms of treatment 12 .Electroconvulsive therapy has also been shown to reduce symptoms related with intractable depression 13,14 . The effectiveness of ECT in the treatment of bipolar depression has also been explained in some studies whereby it has been found to be equally effective in unipolar and bipolar depression and treatment of resistant patient 15 .…”
