Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Explained | Amaha Mental Health Hospital

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Explained | Amaha Mental Health Hospital

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective yet often misunderstood treatments in psychiatry.
At Amaha Mental Health Hospital, Bengaluru, we provide only modified ECT, delivered under anaesthesia, with full medical supervision and strict adherence to MHCA 2017 protocols.
ECT is considered only in very specific clinical situations, usually when someone is experiencing:
– Severe depression with suicidal thoughts
– Catatonia or withdrawal
– Acute psychosis or mania

Conditions that haven’t improved with other treatments

At Amaha, we deliver ECT with care, safety, and compassion at the centre:
– Thorough medical and psychiatric evaluations
– Trauma-informed care with dignity and rights protected
– Family involvement and clear communication at every step
– Multidisciplinary supervision by psychiatrists, anaesthetists, and nurses
This is not a last resort. It’s a clinically proven tool, one that, in the right hands and setting, can be transformative.
