PReS-FINAL-2287: Electroconvulsive therapy in a patient with juvenile systemic lupus erythematous
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) often develop neuropsychiatric disease. Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of SLE occur in about half of all patients, and psychiatric presentations are seen with a prevalence of 35% to 60% in this group. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) also known as electroshock therapy is a psychiatric treatment in which electricity/electric shock is used to induce convulsions. It is used to treat psychiatric diseases such as depression, schizophrenia, mania or catatonia that do not respond to conventional treatment.
