电休克疗法 (Ea) 是治疗严重抑郁症最有效、最快速的方法：然而，它只适用于少数患有严重情绪和精神障碍的患者，而这些患者显然适合这种疗法。我们提出了一个评估量表，我们假设该量表可用于根据患者抑郁症的严重程度、遗传性和发作性来预测患者是否适合使用 Ea。该量表是作为一种工具来帮助医生和患者了解患者与 ECT 是合理治疗选择的患者的相符程度。 (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Electroconvulsive therapy (Ea) is the most effective and rapid treatment for severe depression: however, it should be prescribed to the limited number of patients with severe mood and psychotic disorders for whom it is clearly appropriate. We present an assessment scale that we hypothesize can be used to predict a patient's appropriateness for Ea, based on the severity, heritability, and episodic nature of their depression. This scale is offered as a tool to help the practitioner and patient gain a sense of how well the patient fits the profile of someone for whom ECT is a reasonable treatment option.
