Are you receiving ECT for depression? Interested in participating in cutting edge research?

ECT works very well

ECT and Inflammation?

The Research Team

 50-80% of people achieve remission after a course of ECT; it’s the best treatment to get people well

We think in the process of getting people well it is possible ECT may irritate the brain, an effect called inflammation.

Two groups at CAMH are working together.

 ECT works by telling the brain to make new brain cells and increases mood supporting chemicals

This may explain why some people get a recurrence of illness.

Can we make ECT better? After ECT there is a high risk of recurrence, though antidepressant medications can sometimes help prevent this

How can brain imaging research help? We have a new kind of brain scanning method that can detect whether the brain gets irritated. If we detect this, future ECT could include a medication to prevent the irritation.
