Posttest self-assessment question and answer

In which of the following clinical situations is ECT felt to be robustly effective?

A. MDD with psychotic features

B. MDD

C. OCD

D. Schizophrenia

E. A and B

F. A, B, and C

G. All of the above

H. None of the above

Answer: E

ECT is one of the most effective acute treatments for MDD. It is noted to be an excellent treatment for psychotic MDD as well. There is some evidence to suggest that ECT can help in schizophrenia, perhaps with certain negative symptoms, and those suffering from schizoaffective conditions. There is little evidence to support its use in OCD.
