Abstract
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
dates back to the beginning of biologic psychiatry.
Particularly, the introduction of general anesthesia
and muscle relaxation as well as recent
advances in ECT technique greatly reduced the
incidence of complications related with ECT and
post- interventional adverse cognitive effects.
Today, ECT is still the most effective acute antidepressant
treatment. In most countries ECT is
used for the treatment of severe depression that
failed to respond to psychopharmacotherapy
and other therapy. Because ECT provides a fast
response, it is specially recommended for lifethreatening
illness conditions including agitation,
stupor, food restriction or high suicide risk.
Conclusions: Within the profession up-todate
ECT is considered safe, effective and rapid working
treatment for the severest forms of mental
disorders. On the contrary, ECT is not performed
in Slovenia. No professional reason exists
that ECT would not be available in Slovenia.
By Slovenian Mental Health Act ECT is considered
as a special treatment option for mental disorders,
but momentarily different barriers limit
the availability of ECT to Slovenian patients, particularly
to patients in acute illness conditions.
