Guidelines for ECT • ECT is a major treatment with well-defined indications, and it should not be reserved as a last resort. • The most common use of ECT is with clients who have not responded to alternative treatments such as pharmacotherapy, exhibit a deterioration in clinical symptoms, or exhibit suicidal ideations. • There are no absolute contraindications to ECT; however, consideration is given to the degree of risk to potential benefits of ECT.
