Convulsive Therapy
CHANGING PATTERNS OF MENTAL HOSPITAL DISCHARGES AND READMISSIONS IN THE PAST TWO DECADES. (1/6)
The discharge and readmission pattern for the non-organic psychoses (chiefly schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychoses) was studied for three-year periods: immediately before extensive use of modern therapies (1940-42), when electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) alone was extensively used (1950-52), and finally when tranquillizers had been added (1956-58). Patients were followed up for four years after either admission or discharge. The cohort method was used. With the use of ECT alone discharge took place at an earlier period after admission but was associated with a higher rate of readmission. With the addition of tranquillizers the improvement in rate of discharge continued for the whole four years after admission and the readmission rate was reduced to that seen in the first period. The rate of changing factors other than specific therapies is discussed. (+info)Sakel versus Meduna: different strokes, different styles of scientific discovery. (2/6)

(+info)Long-term prognosis and followup in schizophrenia. (5/6)
The long-term course or natural history of schizophrenia is correlated with differing diagnostic criteria and commonly agreed upon prognostic variables. A review of 38 long-term followup studies of hospitalized schizophrenics reveals that unspecified or Kraepelinian-type schizophrenia has a much worse prognosis than atypical schizophrenia, schizoaffective psychosis, reactive psychosis, or other good premorbid types. Diagnoses based on longitudinal as well as cross-reactional data are more predictive of outcome than cross-sectionally based diagnoses. Drug and psychosocial treatment results must be evaluated in terms of prognostic variables, many of which are incorporated in some currently employed diagnostic criteria. There is no firm evidence that maintenance medication is indicated in some good prognosis patients. The paucity of long-range followups, the inadequacies of outcome assessments, and diagnostic disagreements limit our understanding of the effects of drug treatment, a treatment which is not without dangerous neurological side effects in many patients.

Glucose tolerance tests were performed in a group of patients in a mental hospital who had been treated with insulin shock and in a matched control group. Five out of 31 (16%) patients in the insulin-treated group and 1 out of 22 (5%) controls had "diabetic" blood sugar curves. Median blood sugar values were significantly higher at 60 minutes and later in the insulin-treated group, as were mean blood sugar values when the "diabetic" patients were excluded. Small amounts of plasma insulin-binding antibody were found in two insulin-treated patients. In the absence of any other clear-cut explanation, it is suggested that in some patients massive doses of insulin by injection may leave diminished tissue responsiveness to insulin as a long-term after-effect. (+info)Convulsive therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a medical treatment where electric currents are passed through the brain to induce controlled seizures, primarily used to treat severe forms of mental disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and catatonia that have not responded to other treatments.
Convulsive therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a medical treatment most commonly used in cases of severe major depression or bipolar disorder that have not responded to other treatments. It involves applying electrical currents to the brain to intentionally trigger a seizure. The exact mechanism of how ECT works is not fully understood, but it is thought to affect the brain's chemistry and help regulate mood and behavior.
During an ECT treatment, the patient is sedated and given muscle relaxants to prevent physical injury from the seizure. Electrodes are placed on the patient's head, and a carefully controlled electric current is passed through the brain, causing a brief seizure that lasts less than a minute. The patient is closely monitored throughout the procedure and typically awakens a few minutes later with no memory of the treatment.
ECT is usually administered in a series of treatments, typically two to three times per week for several weeks. While ECT can be highly effective in treating severe depression and other mental health conditions, it does carry some risks, including short-term memory loss and confusion. However, these side effects are usually temporary and improve over time.
Overall, convulsive therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for individuals with severe mental illness who have not responded to other forms of treatment. It should only be administered under the close supervision of trained medical professionals in a controlled setting.
'Electroconvulsive Therapy' (ECT) is a medical intervention that involves applying electrical stimulation to the brain to induce a seizure, used primarily in severe or treatment-resistant mental disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment most commonly used in cases of severe or treatment-resistant major depression, bipolar disorder, and catatonia. In ECT, a brief electrical current is passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a seizure. The purpose and specific effects of this procedure are not fully understood, but it's believed to cause changes in brain chemistry that can help relieve symptoms of certain mental health conditions.
The treatment is typically administered under general anesthesia and is usually given two to three times a week for a total of six to twelve treatments. While ECT has been associated with certain risks, such as memory loss and confusion, it is generally considered safe when performed by trained medical professionals. It's important to note that ECT should only be used in cases where other treatment options have been exhausted or have proven ineffective.
