Abstract

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely used in most countries in Asia. There are several regards in which the practice of ECT in this region deviate from the guidelines issued by the American Psychiatric Association and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The deviations are a matter of concern but are not surprising, considering that most previous surveys have also documented deviations from these guidelines. We are trying to explain all probable causes of this suboptimal practice, and then, we recommend how to improve the practice of ECT in Asian countries.

摘要

电休克疗法（ECT）在亚洲大多数国家被广泛使用。该地区ECT的实践在几个方面偏离了美国精神病学协会和皇家精神病医学院发布的指南。这些偏差令人担忧，但并不奇怪，因为之前的大多数调查也记录了与这些指南的偏差。我们试图解释这种不理想实践的所有可能原因，然后，我们建议如何改善亚洲国家ECT的实践。
