dc.description.abstract | Some patients with severe mental disorders
are refractory to psychotherapeutic or psychopharmacological
interventions. We
describe a patient with severe symptoms from
the age of 16 to 44. Her illness is best
described as a schizo-affective disorder.
Several series of electroconvulsive therapy
(ECT) followed by maintenance once a week
for more than six years has kept her out of hospital
beds for three years. The patient demonstrates
the feasibility of long term ECT and the
absence of disturbing cognitive reductions | en_US |
