ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY (ECT)
This treatment for severe depression or mania involves passing a mild electrical current through the brain, via two electrodes placed on the service user’s head. The current induces an epileptic-type seizure lasting for 15–30 seconds; the person will have received a pre-medication which would usually be of the anxiolytic type to help relax the individual beforehand and this is followed by a general anesthetic, so that the individual is unaware of the procedure in its duration (Cutajar & Wilson 1999). There is little evidence that proves precisely how it works; however, Priest and Gibbs (2004) suggest that its effectiveness in cases of severe depression cannot be doubted. Studies show ECT to be highly effective and faster-acting than all medication (Rogers et al. 1993; Wheeldon et al. 1999).
Cutajar and Wilson (1999) conducted a study on how many people with learning disabilities had received ECT during a 5-year period; they found only eight cases, which is very low in comparison with the general population. This may reflect that ECT requires informed consent, i.e. the recipient must have an understanding of the nature of the treatment, how it works and its long-term effects. ECT is a particularly difficult treatment to explain to depressed patients and when their understanding is further impaired by a learning disability, this task becomes extremely challenging. However, it is not unheard of for service users who are without mental capacity to be forced to receive ECT within the laws set out by the Mental Health Act 1983, but this is rare and only ever considered in extreme circumstances, i.e. after all other treatment for a depressive illness has failed.
