Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a commonly used treatment in psychiatry. The treatment method often uses a certain amount of electric current through the head, causing the cerebral cortex to discharge, which can be accompanied by a generalized convulsive state, and the patient can temporarily lose consciousness, and is a means of treatment for depression, schizophrenia and other diseases. It is recommended to consult a specialist. Electroconvulsive therapy is currently divided into traditional electroconvulsive and modified electroconvulsive. Traditional electroconvulsive therapy is prone to tissue damage or dysfunction. After improvement, modified electroconvulsive therapy has been formed, using intravenous anesthetics and muscle relaxants before treatment to improve patient comfort and safety. At present, it gradually replaces the traditional electroconvulsive therapy. Indications for electroconvulsive therapy include depressive disorders, schizophrenia, manic episodes, other psychiatric disorders such as depersonalization syndrome, anxiety disorders, and intractable pain. Contraindications include cardiovascular system disorders, central nervous system disorders, respiratory system disorders, endocrine system disorders, vascular disorders, osteoarthritic disorders, and severe ophthalmic disorders such as asthma, intracranial aneurysm, and uncontrolled hypertension. Electroconvulsive therapy needs to be clarified with or without indications and contraindications, and the basic condition of the patient needs to be evaluated before operation, such as previous medication and basic medical history. Those who need to perform electroconvulsive therapy, strictly follow the medical advice.
