Hi Essence.

Maintenance ECT does exist and is an option for some people, but it is true that most are put back on medication after an acute phase of ECT.

There could be several reasons why maintenance ECT is not as popular as medication and I am researching this. My fear is that maintenance ECT is not compatible with a high level of functioning. Then again, neither is partially effective medication with lots of side effects.
