Overview

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive therapy is not considered a first line treatment but may be prescribed in cases where other treatments have failed. It is more effective where symptoms of catatonia are present,[1] and is recommended for use under NICE guidelines in the UK for catatonia if previously effective, though there is no recommendation for use for schizophrenia otherwise.[2] Psychosurgery has now become a rare procedure and is not a recommended treatment for schizophrenia.[3]
