Abstract
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment of a variety of serious psychiatric and neurologic disorders. There are infrequent case reports of its use in individuals with mental retardation (MR). We describe 10 patients with MR and complex comorbid psychiatric disorder treated with ECT. Seven patients had an excellent response to treatment. Side effects of treatment were minimal and transitory.Entities:
