Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be both a life-enhancing and life-saving procedure in the elderly. Don't forget to think about recommending ECT in an elderly depressed patient who is suicidal or has failed multiple courses of antidepressants and is doing poorly.
电休克疗法(ECT)对老年人来说既可以是一种改善生活质量的治疗手段,也可以是一种挽救生命的治疗手段。对于有自杀倾向、或已接受多疗程抗抑郁药治疗但效果不佳的老年抑郁症患者,别忘了考虑推荐使用ECT。
