ECT May Be Coming Back













Hi Everyone!

A professor in Sydney Australia has conducted a study on the use of unilateral ultra-brief ECT and is finding it just as effective as the standard ECT but with less cognitive side effects, especially memory loss. This study however is only short-term effectiveness so we'll have to wait and see what happens in the future. This study has been published in the Journal of Psychiatry.
