> Does ECT reduce anxiety? I read somewhere that it is not effective for that. Kind of suprises me, considering that many docs consider it the best treatment for depression there is.
I've been told that ECT is effective not only anxiety, but for mood-related OCD symptoms (as described by Rasmussen and others). Comorbidity of OCD and depressive disorders is quite common -- not that it's a reason to have ECT.
