Electroconvulsive therapy significantly reduced depression scores from 25.3 to 5.3, demonstrating effectiveness in patients.
In a cross-sectional study, 80 patients underwent ECT, with primary indications being depressive disorders (85%) and psychotic disorders (11%).
Most patients received benzodiazepines as pre-ECT medication, highlighting common pharmacological patterns prior to treatment.
The results support electroconvulsive therapy's role in managing treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions, a critical aspect of modern psychiatric care.
