Abstract
This article deals with the current literature regarding general attitudes toward electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and why there are so many misconceptions regarding this form of treatment. MEDLINE, PsychLIT and internet searches were carried out to gather the information discussed. Considerable stigma still surrounds ECT, and this probably remains the greatest barrier to public acceptance of this treatment.Mesh:
