Abstract

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) of a 15-year-old female patient suffering from a severe delusional depression: a case report Abstract., Objective: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a modern therapy of severe psychiatric disorders. However, ECT is rarely used in treating children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders. This case report refers about a 15-year-old female patient suffering from severe depressive episodes with psychotic symptoms treated with ECT., Method: After unsuccessful combined behavioral therapy and medication, the patient received a total of 11 ECT treatments with right unilateral electrode placement. The severity of depressive symptoms was assessed by self (BDI-II) and external (HDRS21) scores before, during and after treatment., Results: A rapid decline of depressive symptoms was observed., Conclusion: ECT provides a safe and effective method for the treatment of severe depressive disorders in childhood and adolescence and should be included earlier than usual into the standard therapeutic concepts.
