Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

Electro-Convulsive Therapy is a physical treatment carried out under general anaesthetic for people usually suffering from severe depression. It involves several treatments spread over a few weeks.  We provide this service in three locations across Hampshire.

ECT can be helpful if:      

   
• you haven’t improved with anti-depressant medication

• you can’t take anti-depressant medication due to side effects

• you’ve responded well to ECT in the past

• you feel so overwhelmed by depression that it’s difficult to carry out everyday activities
