The incidence of depression is increasing in adolescents, who are at a stage of education and therefore more concerned about their cognitive changes. We tried to preserve the rapid relief of depressive symptoms in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) while causing less cognitive impairment, thus designing the hybrid-ECT (HECT), a modified ECT therapy. Here, we report a case study of a 14-year-old male student with major depressive disorder (MDD) suffering from severe suicidality and significant impairment in social functioning who achieved effective antidepressant effects with HECT and improved cognitive function. HECT showed safety and effectiveness in adolescent MDD patient.
青少年抑郁症的发病率正在上升，他们正处于受教育阶段，因此更关注自己的认知变化。我们试图在电休克治疗（ECT）中保持对抑郁症状的快速缓解，同时减少认知损害，从而设计了混合式电休克治疗（HECT），这是一种改良的ECT治疗方法。在此，我们报告一例14岁男性重度抑郁症（MDD）学生的病例研究，该患者有严重自杀倾向且社会功能严重受损，接受HECT治疗后获得了有效的抗抑郁效果且认知功能得到改善。HECT在青少年MDD患者中显示出安全性和有效性。
