Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
ECT is a safe, effective treatment option for people with severe conditions that do not respond favorably to pharmacological interventions. We encourage you to talk to your doctor if you think you may benefit from this treatment.
What to expect during an ECT treatment
During ECT, electrodes are placed on the scalp and a finely controlled electric current is applied while you are under general anesthesia.
ECT is usually used up to three times a week for a total of two to four weeks.
Who can benefit from ECT
ECT is one of the fastest ways to relieve symptoms in severely depressed or suicidal patients. It's also very effective for patients experiencing from mania and other mental illnesses. ECT is generally used when conditions are unresponsive to other forms of therapy. It might also be used when patients pose a severe threat to themselves or others, and it is too dangerous to wait until medications take effect.
Addiction recovery support groups
The Pavilion at our hospital hosts several addiction recovery support groups. These groups supplement the care provided by our hospital; however, they are all facilitated by outside organizations. This means our hospital does not oversee cancellations or attendance.
