E.C.T.

E.C.T.

 Forms of treatment that rely on the brain alert ways to stimulate the brain, or "touch" directly, using electricity or magnets or implants to treat depression and other brain disorders include. The electric convulsive therapy and one of the most types of treatment alerts the brain that received research and study, and is used for a long time.

 Being thinking of resorting to this treatment usually after exhausting other options, such as antidepressants or psychotherapy. Often used E.C.T. way in cases of severe depression that is hard to treatment. But they are sometimes used in the treatment of mental or other psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

 It is possible that this treatment is also used in cases where the life of the patient is exposed to the danger, so when the patient is unable to move or respond to the outside world, or the myelin patients frequently to suicide, or when living with severe feeding result of the sharp depression.

 Scientists do not know precisely what you are doing this treatment even alleviate depression, but apparently it causes many chemical changes in the brain and in his work. Since the patient is under general anesthesia, and have dealt drugs Markhia muscles, the body does not show any convulsions in the course of treatment, do not feel any pain or anything, but the sting of a needle anesthesia.

 an introduction

The E.C.T., and its symbol (ECT), a safe and effective way can succeed in easing the symptoms caused by depression or other mental illnesses. During this treatment, some being activated parts of the brain using a small electrical currents. It seems that E.C.T. cause a chemical change in the brain. It is likely to be used only when other treatments fail to remove or alleviate the symptoms.

 It is possible that the doctor recommends that a patient for treatment of convulsive electrical subject. But the final decision remains from the patient's own responsibility. This educational E.C.T. program explains. It explains what they are and how to do them, as well as alternative treatments. The program also addresses the benefits and risks of this treatment. There is also a review of the follow-up treatments known as "Alsainh processors."

E.C.T.

One may feel a bit of turmoil when he hears E.C.T. way and know that they are using an electric current. This method is sometimes called as the "electric shock treatment", and that's what make them have a bad reputation for many years. It is possible to see in some movies that E.C.T. nothing serious, including harsh treatment of people with mental disorders.

 But the reality is that the electric convulsive therapy effective and safe treatment. Being the use of a small low-intensity electrical currents to stimulate certain parts of the brain. This is what causes the short bouts adjustable can relieve symptoms caused by depression or other mental illnesses. It seems that E.C.T. operates through chemical changes in the brain and its functions.

 This could be useful in making some of the symptoms of depression, mental illness or other mental decline. Often limited to the use of electric convulsive therapy to cases in which it did not work the other methods of treatment, and did not succeed in alleviating symptoms or removed. On the other treatment methods that are used before resorting to Altaklij Supply: drugs and treatment of words. It is possible to treat a severe depression and schizophrenia using Altaklij supply. Often used this treatment if any of the following symptoms:

 Psychosis.
     Eating rejected.
     Suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

You can also use E.C.T. when depression is not getting better in the long run due to medication or other treatment methods. It can also be used E.C.T. to deal with patients infected with manic bipolar disorder. The manic episodes make a very vital person "high" and irritable mood.

 If this situation remained untreated, it may lead to manic or overly adventurous impulse behavior, and substance abuse (drugs) and disorder decision-making process, in addition to the incidence of psychosis. Electric convulsive therapy sometimes as a last resort in order to address some of the other cases are used.

When the infected patient does not respond to obsessive-compulsive disorder treatments or other medications, it is resorting to the use Altaklij supply. From other diseases that cause problems in the movement or bouts There Parkinson's disease, for example. It can in these cases the use of electric Altaklij too. It is possible to have a good electrical Altaklij options to address the following categories of persons:

 The elderly who are unable to tolerate the side effects of some medications.     Persons who have undergone in the past to treat convulsive electric successful.
     Pregnant women can not eat certain medications, because they can harm the fetus.

Can also be used in cases of electrical Altaklij be dangerous to life. This method may be used when the patient is infected with Paljamod, a form of schizophrenia, or unable to move or respond to the outside world. It can also be used to treat patients who are fed deteriorated as a result of depression.

 Alternative treatments

It does not usually resort to being Altaklij electricity only when other treatment methods fail. Sometimes medications are used to treat psychiatric disorders, including depression. There are different types of available medicines. It can be psychological counseling and psychological therapy are often useful for the treatment of mild cases of depression or other mental disorders. Often these methods are necessary in advanced cases, in addition to taking medications prescribed by a doctor.

You may have cases of mental illness advanced so much to be hospitalized in order to receive treatment. This will be especially true if the patient has suicidal thoughts, and was likely to harm himself or others. Food and Drug Administration has approved another method to treat severe depression. This method is called as the alert vagus nerve. The vagus nerve nerve goes from the brain to the heart, chest and abdomen.

The alert this nerve electric low-intensity stream may help to address some of the cases of severe depression. With the start of the patient's condition improves, it becomes able to make healthy changes to help relieve anxiety and maintain a balanced view of life. The Regular exercise and healthy food and stable relations very useful things in order to keep stress at a low level, and in order to reduce the risk of recurrence of depression again.

 These steps can also help people infected with other psychiatric disorders. The electric Altaklij useful in cases of severe depression that are slow to respond to the drugs. As Altaklij may also be used to treat other psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

 Preparation for the treatment of convulsive electricThe doctor requested a physical examination and a psychological evaluation of the patient before E.C.T. action. As part of the tests that precede Altaklij electric, can also ask your doctor include:

     Medical history of the patient.
     Blood tests.
     An electric planning for the heart.

 The patient may need to consult a physician before undergoing anesthesia for treatment of convulsive electric. The anesthesiologist is a physician specialist in charge of the anesthesia the patient before the operation. Anesthesiologist presents the risks associated with the susceptibility of the patient general anesthesia, and answer questions.

  E.C.T. procedures

Before making Altaklij, a patient undergoing general anesthesia. Watching the doctor and the patient breathed his heart rate and blood pressure during the whole procedure. The patient is also given a pharmaceutical substance called as the "muscle relaxant". This article prevents the muscles move during a Altaklij. Given section of these drugs through the venous catheter. And venous catheter is a way in the introduction of drugs and other substances into the body through a needle or tube inserted in a vein of the patient.

After the patient is anesthetized, it is developed electrical paths in specific positions on the head. Through these electrodes it is passing an electrical current to the brain. The power supply leads to the "epileptic attack" short adjustable occurs. And it lasts less than a minute spell. Because of anesthesia and muscle relaxant, the body does not show any convulsions at all.

 The patient does not feel any pain, but the pain caused by the simple introduction of the venous catheter. The patient wakes up after five or ten minutes from the end of the procedure. The patient may feel some dizziness during the demise of the influence of the drug. But it becomes more Shawwa after about an hour, and can resume normal life.

 Course of treatment

Being applied electric Altaklij doses three times a week until relieved depression. And it usually requires six to twelve sessions session. After that, it can be patient in need of treatment Sainh in order to minimize the possible return of the symptoms again. The amount of the need for follow-up treatment on the patient's own condition. This Alsainh treatment may range from one session per week to one session every few months.

 It is possible not to include Alsainh treatment after making Altaklij on electric power processing. Often it deals with patients who underwent Taklij electric anti-depressant drugs, or drugs help stabilize mood, and as part of the treatment after Alsainh Altaklij supply. It can also be psychological counseling be part of this Alsainh treatment.

 Risks and complications

E.C.T. made safe. But there are multiple risks and potential complications. These risks and complications often excluded, but possible occurrence. The patient should know the risks and complications in anticipation of the occurrence. This also allows him to physician assisted to detect and treat early. Risks and complications with regard to the anesthesia itself is divided, and the risks and complications related to the procedure specific.

 The risk of general anesthesia, nausea, vomiting, urinary retention and injured lips and broken teeth, sore throat and headache. The most serious risks may include heart attacks, strokes and pneumonia. Anesthesiologist discusses these risks with the patient, and ask him if he fumbles from some medications. Blood clots that can occur in the legs of a patient due to lack of movement during and after the procedure.

And show these clots usually a few days after the procedure Altaklij. These clots lead to swelling of the legs of the patient's pain. Can move blood clots from the patient's leg, and that up to the lungs, where it can cause respiratory distress and pain Sdria, and sometimes cause death. It is very important to tell the doctor the appearance of any symptoms indicate blood clots, which can be shortness of breath is a former happens sometimes alarm. The departure of bed as soon as possible after surgery can reduce the risk of complications caused by blood clots.

 There are risks and complications specific to electric convulsive. It is the most common occurrence of headache, confusion and discomfort in the stomach and muscle cramps and muscle aches side effects. It can appear in some people memory problems after making Altaklij supply. And have the effect of these problems and the reality on the memories of the nearby phase of treatment usually electric convulsive.

 Some patients may sometimes suffer from problems remembering information received after submission of the electric Taklij shortly, but this problem go away a few days or weeks after a habit. It is likely to arise in the patient "gaps" in memory in the weeks undergoing treatment there. Research studies have found that memory problems appear more closely related to the traditional type of electric Altaklij, dubbed the "dual electric Altaklij side." In this type of electrical Altaklij electrodes are placed on the sides of the head together.

Electric convulsive uniprocessor way side depends on the development of electric electrodes on one side of the head only. The electrodes are placed on the right side usually, because the right side of the brain is responsible for the functions of education and memory. The likelihood of the emergence of problems in less memory when using a single-Altaklij side; and this is what makes it a favorite of doctors.

In the past, electric Altaklij given in the form of high dose constant. But studies have shown that "short pulse" of electrical current which is given on many short batches can reduce the side effects of memory-related. For this reason, it is common nowadays to use short pulses.

 Conclusion

The E.C.T. safe and effective method to relieve symptoms caused by depression or some other mental illness. During this treatment, being some of the areas of the brain alert using a small electrical currents. Scientists do not know because of the uncertain convulsive therapy to relieve the symptoms of depression and other psychiatric illnesses capacity. But it is clear that E.C.T. cause the occurrence of many changes in brain chemistry and function.

 Being electric convulsive therapy applied three times per week, usually, to be relieved depression. Although there are some risks associated with this treatment, it is a safe and effective treatment in general. After E.C.T., sometimes the patient is in need of treatment Sainh in order to minimize the possible return of symptoms. It is not necessary to include Alsainh treatment after Altaklij electrode used for electrical processing.

 Alsainh treatment may include the use of anti-depressant drugs or medications to stabilize mood. You can also use psychotherapy to be part of Alsainh treatment.
