ECT Availability at Princeton House

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be conveniently scheduled on an outpatient basis. In addition, ECT is available to Princeton House inpatients who may benefit from this treatment modality. ECT can be particularly effective for:

• Patients with depressive symptoms who have not responded to various psychiatric medications in combination with psychotherapy
• Those with long-term depression who have never experienced relief, often categorized as “treatment resistant”
• Elderly patients, as they tend to be more intolerant of medication side effects and are at greater risk for drug interactions
