QUÉ SIGNIFICA ELECTROSHOCK EN INGLÉS

Terapia electroconvulsiva

Electroconvulsive therapy

La terapia electroconvulsiva, antes conocida como electrochoque, es un tratamiento psiquiátrico estándar en el que las convulsiones son inducidas eléctricamente en los pacientes para proporcionar alivio de enfermedades psiquiátricas. La TEC suele utilizarse como última línea de intervención para el trastorno depresivo mayor, esquizofrenia, manía y catatonia. Un curso habitual de ECT implica múltiples administraciones, típicamente dos o tres veces por semana hasta que el paciente ya no sufre síntomas. Fue introducido por primera vez en 1938 por los neuropsiquiatras italianos Ugo Cerletti y Lucio Bini, y ganó popularidad entre los psiquiatras como una forma de tratamiento en las décadas de 1940 y 1950. En la ficción occidental, se suele describir como un procedimiento doloroso, pero en los países occidentales ECT se administra bajo anestesia con un relajante muscular. Alrededor del 70 por ciento de los pacientes con TEC son mujeres, posiblemente porque tienen el doble de riesgo de depresión que los hombres. Aunque se ha llevado a cabo una gran cantidad de investigación, el mecanismo de acción exacto del ECT sigue siendo difícil de alcanzar, y el ECT exitoso suele seguirse con el tratamiento con medicamentos.

Electroconvulsive therapy, formerly known as electroshock, is a standard psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in patients to provide relief from psychiatric illnesses. ECT is usually used as a last line of intervention for major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, mania and catatonia. A usual course of ECT involves multiple administrations, typically given two or three times per week until the patient is no longer suffering symptoms. It was first introduced in 1938 by Italian neuropsychiatrists Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini, and gained widespread popularity among psychiatrists as a form of treatment in the 1940s and 1950s. In western fiction, it is usually depicted as a painful procedure, but in western countries ECT is administered under anesthetic with a muscle relaxant. About 70 percent of ECT patients are women, possibly because they are at twice the risk for depression as men. Although a large amount of research has been carried out, the exact mechanism of action of ECT remains elusive, and successful ECT is usually followed by medication treatment.
