ECT in combination with antipsychotic medication produces a quick clinical response in hospitalized patients with acute schizophrenia, and this combination is an effective treatment for both positive and negative symptoms.Under general anaesthesia, electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) is a procedure in which tiny electric currents are sent through the brain, causing a brief seizure. ECT appears to create changes in brain chemistry that can swiftly alleviate the symptoms of some mental illnesses like schizophrenia, resolving negative symptoms like apathy, low mood etc.

It begins to act faster (typically within a week) than pharmaceuticals, especially in elderly persons. With follow-up treatments, ECT can help you avoid relapse.
