ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive side effects, such as memory loss, associated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have been extensively studied. However, knowledge about (sub)acute confusional states during ECT is limited, particularly in older adults depression. Their incidence, recurrence, and co‐occurrence remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the co‐occurrence, clinical course of various subtypes ECT. Methods Data were derived from ‘Rivastigmine for ECT‐induced Adverse effects...
BackgroundThe recent network perspective of depression conceptualizes as a dynamic causally related symptoms, that contrasts with the traditional view discrete latent entity causes all symptoms. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for severe depression, but little known about temporal trajectories symptom improvement during course ECT.ObjectiveTo gain insight into dynamics depressive symptoms in individuals treated ECT.MethodsThe Quick Inventory Depressive...
Introduction Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an evidence-based treatment for difficult-to-treat depression, in which electrical stimulus applied via right unilateral (RUL) (Fig 1) or bitemporal (BT) electrodes 2). Current guidelines recommend to start ECT with RUL placement, except cases where rapid response needed. BT has the reputation of exerting a stronger and faster antidepressive effect, but associated more pronounced cognitive side effects, as compared ECT. Recent studies, however,...
Abstract Introduction Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) related anxiety (ERA) is a common phenomenon with high individual variability. The way patients cognitively cope the prospects of receiving ECT could be mechanism explaining differences in ERA. Cognitive coping like monitoring (information seeking, paying attention to consequences) and blunting (seeking distraction reassurance) has been linked various medical settings, leading more less anxiety. How cognitive ERA, unknown. Methods sample...
