ECT is often a necessary treatment for severe psychiatric disorders in patients with medical or neurologic comorbidity. Although the available data consist largely of cases and case series, ECT is effective in treating psychopathology despite the comorbidity. With appropriate precautions and monitoring during and after ECT, complications can be minimized.
对于患有内科或神经科合并症的严重精神障碍患者，电休克疗法（ECT）往往是必要的治疗方法。尽管现有数据主要包括病例和病例系列，但尽管存在合并症，ECT在治疗精神病理学方面仍然有效。在ECT期间及之后采取适当的预防措施和监测，并发症可减至最低程度。
