Learning objectives:center dot Outline and discuss the fundamental physiologic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of ECT to devise strategies to optimize therapeutic outcomes center dot Summarize the overview of ECT, its efficacy in treating depression, the known effects on cognition, evidence of mechanisms, and future directions. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective treatment for a variety of psychiatric illnesses, including treatment-resistant depression, bipolar depression, mania, catatonia, and clozapine-resistant schizophrenia. ECT is a medical and psychiatric procedure whereby electrical current is delivered to the brain under general anesthesia to induce a generalized seizure. ECT has evolved a great deal since the 1930s. Though it has been optimized for safety and to reduce adverse effects on cognition, issues persist. There is a need to understand fundamental physiologic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of ECT to devise strategies to optimize therapeutic outcomes. Clinical trials that set out to adjust parameters, electrode placement, adjunctive medications, and patient selection are critical steps towards the goal of improving outcomes with ECT. This narrative review provides an overview of ECT, its efficacy in treating depression, its known effects on cognition, evidence of its mechanisms, and future directions.
