We report on the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in a 20-year-old man with a history of FG syndrome and schizophrenia who demonstrated thought disorder and aggression refractory to pharmacological treatment. He received 71 ECT treatments over a period of 13 months and demonstrated a marked reduction in aggressive behavior. In the 14 months before beginning ECT, the patient spent 189 days in the hospital, whereas in the 13 months subsequent to his initial ECT series as an inpatient, he was able to be maintained in the community without psychiatric hospitalization. This case extends the findings of prior cases documenting the alleviation of aggressive behaviors with ECT.
我们报告了一名20岁男性患者使用电休克治疗(ECT)的情况,该患者有FG综合征和精神分裂症病史,表现出思维障碍和对药物治疗无效的攻击行为。在13个月的时间里,他接受了71次ECT治疗,攻击行为显著减少。在开始ECT治疗前的14个月里,该患者住院189天,而在首次ECT系列治疗后的13个月里,他作为住院患者能够在社区中维持生活,无需精神科住院治疗。该病例扩展了先前关于ECT缓解攻击行为的病例研究结果。
