Abstract

Electroshock therapy is in fashion again, but modern psychiatry for this kind of treating is using up to date instruments and methods. Half a century ago this procedure was used for healing serious depression, but was substituted with pharmacotherapy due to side effects like short or long time lost of memory.

Today we have modern technology (ECT with pulse electricity), so side effects are milder, and effects of therapy are better.

With this work we want to present the latest concepts in use of ECT therapy and to present our modest, one year long experience in this area.

We also started prophylactic ECT therapy (in imitation on Military medical academy Belgrade), since we was forced to accept already started treatment some of our patients in above mentioned institution.
