Abstract
This contribution is aimed at potential prescribers of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and covers the place of ECT in the treatment of major depression and mania in contemporary practice. The prescribing cycle is discussed: the selection of electrode placement, and the frequency and number of treatments. Adverse effects, outcome, and continuation treatment after ECT are also considered.
