Wednesday Lecture Series: Neuromodulation in Psychiatry: A Clinical Discussion
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a very effective, yet often underutilized treatment in psychiatry. The clinical practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) varies from institution to institution without universal guidelines on type of treatment, number of treatments and maintenance protocols. Newer neuromodulation techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) with associated advantages and disadvantages. This lecture will review the current evidence to help guide clinical practice in terms of neuromodulation candidates' type of treatment offered and techniques used to practice.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
1. Recognize an indication for neuromodulation referral.
2. Compare unilateral versus bilateral Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).
3. Identify contraindications to Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).
