Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a highly effective and medically approved treatment option for individuals suffering from severe or treatment-resistant mental health conditions. At Dr. Mukul Dhobale’s Psychiatry Hospital, ECT is administered in a safe, controlled environment by a skilled team of psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff. It is typically recommended for patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, catatonia, or certain forms of schizophrenia—especially when other treatments have not yielded sufficient results or when a rapid response is needed due to the severity of symptoms.
The ECT procedure involves the use of a brief, controlled electrical stimulus applied to the brain while the patient is under general anesthesia.
This process triggers a short, controlled seizure that can help reset brain chemistry and improve communication between brain regions involved in mood, emotion, and thought regulation.The procedure is performed with advanced monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety and comfort. Treatments are usually given in a series, depending on the patient’s condition and response, and most patients begin to notice improvement after just a few sessions.
At our hospital, we emphasize education, consent, and transparency before beginning ECT. Each patient—and their family—is guided through a thorough pre-treatment consultation to understand the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes of the therapy.
