Free Members’ Webinar
Thursday 14 December 2023
Overview
The webinar aimed to offer the opportunity to present a case of severe catatonia in an intensive care unit with a rapid and complete response to ECT, and to incorporate the service user's views. The webinar hoped to provide delegates with an European overview of the awareness and knowledge of catatonia among psychiatrists, a review of the literature of ECT as treatment for psychiatric conditions including catatonia, and to also discuss current attitudes towards ECT.
